Mrs. J.H. Baker, 73, Died April 20, 1923

Death of Mrs. J.H. Baker

The death angel visited the home of Mr. D.E. Baker on April 20th and took from him his mother. She was ill for two weeks, first having pneumonia, and age and a week heart unfitted her for the struggle with that treacherous disease. All that loving care and untiring efforts of a devoted family of children and grandchildren could do was most kindly done, but God called her and all human help was vain.

She was the wife of Mr. J.H. Baker, who preceded her to the grave several years ago. She is survived by 11 children—seven boys and four girls—who mourn her. Her years here were 73, having been filled with good deeds and examples.

Interment took place in Cumberland Union cemetery near Cokesbury.
