Batavia Daily News, 21 May 1881

The announcement of the death of Mrs. Phoebe Louise Baker, wife of Dr. John F. 
Baker, will not occasion great surprise in this community where the serious 
nature of her illness has been known for some time, although many hearts will 
be saddened by the event, which, however much anticipated is none the less
hard to bear.  Mrs. Baker was born in Chautauqua county, this State, November
18th, 1832, but with her parents she removed to Caledonia, Livingston county,
while yet an infant.  She was married to Dr. Baker in March, 1857, and soon
after came to Batavia where she has continued to reside, with the exception of
about four years spent in Dover, Delaware.   Mrs. Baker, whose maiden name was
Phoebe Louisa Weeks, was a true and loving wife and mother, and moreover,
being a devoted Christian, bearing her long and painful illness with
fortitude, awaiting with resignation the ultimate end which was to relieve her
sufferings.
