Death of Mrs. Baker

Mrs. Mary Ann Baker, consort of the late Dr. J.L. Baker, died last Friday 
afternoon at 1 o’clock of paralysis.  Although she was old, being sixty-six 
years of age, and not in very good health this sudden death was unexpected by 
her relatives and friends.  She was visiting the family of Mr. C.H. McCall on 
Wednesday afternoon of last week, was taken sick the following Thursday 
afternoon and died on Friday afternoon before any of her absent children could 
reach her.  She was buried at the Baptist cemetery Saturday morning surrounded 
by a large number of sorrowing friends and relatives.  Rev. B.S. Sentell 
performed the burial services.

Mrs. Baker had been a resident of Buena Vista for many years and was loved and 
respected by all who knew her.  She leaves four children to mourn her loss and 
they are Dr. Edwin Baker, of Texas, Dr. J.L. Baker, of Seale, Ala., Mrs. Hamp 
Stevens, of Columbus and Mrs. J.W. Roberts, of this place, who have the 
sympathies of a large circle of friends in their sad bereavement.

Personals

A telegram was sent Friday morning to Dr. J.L. Baker, of Seale, Ala. and to Mr. 
and Mrs. Hamp Stevens, of Columbus, announcing the sudden and serious illness 
of Mrs. Baker.  Owing to the schedule on the Macon and Columbus road they did 
not arrive here from Geneva until 5 o’clock Saturday morning, after death had 
claimed its own.
