J.B.L. BAKER It becomes our painful duty this week, to chronicle the death of Dr. J.B.L. Baker, a most efficient and trustworthy member of the medical profession, and a half-brother of the late Dr. Baker who formerly held the same high place in the regard of our people. The Doctors illness was not of long duration, though he had been failing through overwork for sometime. The deepest respect was paid to his memory, by the closing of all business houses in the city, by the large attendance at the church and the lengthened funeral train that followed his remains to the cemetery. As he was Port Physician the flags were also, at half-mast on that day, (Wednesday Sept. 27th.) We mourn him, the community mourns him, and extends to his bereaved family the tenderest sympathies.
