_______________

Mrs. R. L. Perry, of Chicago Heights, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Baker of 

this city was laid to rest in the Stegar Cemetery this afternoon, there to 
await the glorious Resurrection Day.  Many Streator friends motored to Chicago 

to attend the services.

Mrs. R. L. Perry was born at Shepton Mallet, England.  Her maiden name was 
Hilda Charlton Lawrence.  She was the only child of George and Emily Lawrence 
and was born March 29, 1894.  Her father died in 1897.  Her mother was married 

to Rev. M. C. Baker in 1910, when Rev. Baker was overseas on a vacation.  
Hilda, with her mother came to this country when he returned in 1910.  She 
lived with then until the 22nd of July, 1924 when she became the wife of R. L. 

Perry, of Chicago Heights.

She was a member of the P. M. church of Streator since 1912, a useful worker 
in Sunday school and other departments of the church.

She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted and beloved husband, a baby daughter, 
three weeks old, besides her parents, Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Baker, an aunt, Mrs. 

Bessie Witcombe and cousin Miss Bessie Witcombe of Streator and other 
relatives overseas.

Her end came as a result of a Caesarian operation from which she never fully 
rallied.  Her hosts of friends of this city will be extremely sorry to learn 
of this bright young life ending so abruptly.  Those who mourn have the 
sincere sympathy of all who know them.

collection.
