Mrs. Susan Zook Baker.

  At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon Mrs. Susan Zook Baker, died at her home 
on Poplar street, Roaring Spring, following an illness of almost twenty 
years, the past eight years of which she was a helpless invalid.
  Death was due to chronic indigestion and complications. She was born 
at Lafayettesville, Bedford county, on April 17, 1846, and was the 
daughter of Elias and Mary Zook.
  After growing to womanhood at Lafayettesville she moved with her 
mother to Bakers Summit, where she became the wife of Mr. Baker on Dec. 
1, 1867. They resided at Bakers Summit until 1883 when they moved into 
Blair county and in 1900 to Roaring Spring where they have since 
resided. Since becoming a resident of Roaring Spring she was a faithful 
member of the Church of God. She is survived by her husband, four sons: 
Charles of Duncansville, George of Maria, Elias of Taylor township, 
Bertram at home, and four daughters, Mrs. Fred Himes, Mrs. John 
Yingling, Mrs. Robert Garver, all of Roaring Spring, and Miss Nettie at 
home. She is also survived by seventeen grandchildren, one brother, 
Charles W. Zook, ex-postmaster of Roaring Spring; one half brother, 
Henry Mohr of Sioux City, Ia., and three half sisters, Mrs. C. W. Fox 
and Mrs. Mary Biddle of Roaring Spring and Mrs. Emma Brumbaugh of 
Defiance, Bedford county.

at her late home in charge of Rev. J. A. Detter, pastor of the Roaring 
Spring Church of God. Interment in Greenlawn cemetery, Roaring Spring.
