She was born May 6, 1858. She joined the Church in 1874 or 1875 and lived a consistent Christian the remainder of her life. Sister Baker was a good Christian woman, a kind mother and wife and neighbor. We will mourn her loss, but not as those who have no hope. We will meet her again where sickness cannot come. She leaves a husband and some five or six children, a brother and a host of friends to mourn their loss. God bless the precious little ones. No one can take the place of mother. We are so glad that it is not all of life to live. Look up, kind friends, and keep your eye on heaven. The beckoning hands call for you. We will meet her on the sunlit hills of glory. S. N. ALLEN.
