Death of Dr. Baker

Dr. James Lawrence Baker breathed his last at his home in Buena Vista yesterday 
morning at 7:30 o’clock.  He was about seventy-three years of age, and for the 
last six or seven years had been a sufferer with cancer of the face which 
gradually fed upon his physical system until he succumbed to its ravages.  He 
bore this affliction with the greatest patience and was cheerful to the last.  
He leaves a wife and four children and a large circle of friends to mourn his 
loss.

Dr. Baker was one of the oldest settlers now living in this county.  He first 
settled at Tazewell and from there he moved to Pineville.  He came to Buena 
Vista about thirty-five years ago where he has resided until his death.

His remains were laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery in Buena Vista yesterday 
afternoon at 6 o’clock, surrounded by his relatives and friends who deeply 
mourn his loss.  Col. E.M. Butt, who has been a great friend of Dr. Baker, 
officiated at his funeral, it having been a dying request of the doctor that he 
should do so.
