Weekly Republic, Springfield OH
Peter BAKER, an aged and highly respected citizen of this community, was 
called upon to bid adieu to mortal life on Tuesday of last week. He had been a 
resident here for some 33 years, was one of the founders of the first 
Mennonite church in Clark county, and has remained in the same, up to the time 
of his death, in the death of Mr. BAKER we lose one of our best as well as one 
of our oldest citizens. <P> Although he had been in rather delicate health for 
some time past, his death was not looked for so soon. He ate his supper the 
evening of his demise, and after some friends had spent the evening with him, 
and all was thought well for the night. His aged companion noticed rather 
strange symptoms, and was calling other members of the family to his bedside, 
they were soon confident that he was expiring, and not understanding the 
reason that his family were making their approach, asked "what is the matter?" 
and breathed his last. He was fast completing his 86th year. The funeral 
ceremonies were conducted by the Rev. John Core, of Lancaster, Pa. Thus are we 
again admonished of the certainty of death, and the importance of "Be ye also 
ready."
