     SUFFOLK LETTER. 

  Mrs. Elizabeth A. Baker, wife of Justice R.H. Baker, and mother of Charles 
N. and William E. Baker, and Mrs. C.L. Williams, and the late Jas. R. Baker, 
of Suffolk, died at her home near Nurneyville, Nansemond county, Va., on 
Tuesday morning, April 10, 1894, and was buried, after funeral services at the 
homestead, on Wednesday afternoon.  Deceased had been in feeble health for 
many years, and was a quiet trustful Christian.  A large attendance of 
neighbors and friends witnessed the funeral services and extended sympathy to 
the bereaved husband and children.  Wife and mother are words that stand for 
much that is rich in our experiences in time.  Separation from them changes 
the whole outer and inner world.  But it oftens turns the heart heavenward in 
its aspirations and hopes.  May this bereavement turn the hearts of this 
family, toward that "home unclouded" where eternal reunion is possible and 
desirable.  Personal goes from me to these friends in their sadness. "Asleep 
in Jesus" ought to brighten their sky and quiet their hearts-beats into serene 
repose.
