                        THOMAS BAKER IS BURIED HERE SATURDAY

  Funeral services for Thomas Baker, 86, who died Thursday night at 11:00 o'clock,
were held Saturday at 2 p.m. from the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. I. Taylor,
with Walter W. Leamons, Church of Christ minister, officiating.
  Mr. Baker, who had been an invalid for several years, became critically ill only
two days before his death.  He and his wife, the former Molly Hudson, had lived in
Kimble 47 years, having come here from Jacksboro, Texas.  Born February 16, 1862,
Baker came to Texas from Fayetteville, Arkansas, at the age of four.  He was a farmer
until forced by declining health to retire and was a member of the Church of Christ.
  Survivors include the widow, one son, Eli, and the daughter, and seven grand-
children. His other son, the late Weaver H. Baker, died September 21, 1946, in a 
traffic accident.
  Pall bearers were grandsons Jack Baker, Thomas B. Taylor, and David Taylor, grand-
sons-in-law Dale Barton and Charles Tubbs, and a nephew, Norvel Walker.
  Out of town relatives here for the services included Walker of Comanche, Mr. and
Mrs. Dale Barton of Denton, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tubbs of Midland, Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas B. Taylor of Austin, Mrs. Enzer Carroll and Mrs. N. W. Morgan of Comanche,
