From the Adams County Press, Saturday December 24, 1898 P1

Mrs. Henrietta BAUR died at her home in Jackson, after an illness of three
weeks, on December 14, 1898.

Henrietta LARKIN, daughter of D. W. and Margaret LARKIN, was born 49 years
ago in the Town of Sharon, Walworth county, Wisconsin, coming with her
parents some years later to Adams county, where she was married in 1872, to
Peter BAUR.

When a young girl she accepted Christ as her Savior, uniting with the M. E.
church at Oxford. About five years ago she entered into fellowship with the
Congregational church of Jackson, of which body she was an active member at
the time of her death.

Her life has been that of an earnest, helpful woman. Her home cares were
doubled some nine years ago by the death of her husband, but she bravely
took up her burden and strove patiently to do her duty to her children, to
whom she was a kind, good mother. As a daughter she was the strength and
comfort of her aged parents.

In her church relations she was a willing worker, standing firmly for what
she believed to be its best interests. As a friend and neighbor she was
never found wanting, she never turned a deaf ear to sorrow or suffering,
being ever ready to help in times of trouble; there is hardly one who knew
her but can remember some kindly help she gave in time of need.

She leaves three children, two boys and a girl, all grown to manhood and
womanhood.

Funeral services were held at the home Saturday, conducted by Rev. Chase,
her pastor, who spoke fitting words from the text, "Let me die the death of
the righteous, and let my last end be like His."
