OBITUARY. Mary C. Baker, nee Thomas, was born on the 10th day of March, 1844, died Nov. 37. 1901, aged 57 years, 8 months and 17 days. She was married to Charles J. Baker, May 10, 1876, which was a happy union. To them two children were born. She leaves the husband. two children—a daughter and son—three brothers and two sisters and a host of friends to mourn her death. But while these dear friends rnourr., they mourn with the Christian's hope of meeting again. In sister Baker's death the U. B. church loses a faithful and exemplary member at the Slaughter class. Gilboa Ct., the husband a dutiful and loving companion and the children a kind, tender and true Christian mother. But their loss is her's and heaven's eternal gairr. Lost her? No, these dear bereaved ones are still loved by her and she while freed from her suffering will be waiting and watching fortheir home coming. Having been her pastor for two years, we love to note the fact that her presence in the public congregation always proved an inspiration and her influence because of her deep devotion will ever live to bless the world and strengthen the cause of Christ, and will ever as an angel visit, comfort and strengthen these loved ones for the battles of life. Sister Baker said during her last evening on earth that she did not expect to live through the night, and met death with perfect composure. She fell asleep, never to open her eyes in this world but opened her spirit eyes in that land of eternal sunshine and song and perfect beauties of endless joy. where the inhabitants never grow weary or sick and where goodbyes will never come. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep. The funeral as conducted at the residence, 5H miles south of Rensselaer by the writer in the presence of a sympathizing audience of neighborsand frlenda,after which the remains were laid away in the Remington cemetery to await the trumpet of God.
