Death was the result of complications which set in but a short time before the end. Her mother, Mrs. W. P. Williams, was on the way to visit her, believing that she was convalescing, but before reaching Baker death had came. The remains were brought back to Eagle Valley and interred in our beautiful cemetery on Saturday afternoon, the funeral services being held at the Methodist church, Rev. J. M. Johnson officiating.
