Accidental Death
A terrible accident occurred in Corning on Friday afternoon of last week when Mrs. Maurice Baker was found dead at the foot of the cellar stairs in her home. The family had just moved into the John Morris property. They had just gotten their effects straightened around somewhat and were in a position to enjoy themselves when the demise of Mrs. Baker cast a shadow over the home and the community.
Mr. Baker had left the home just after dinner Friday to attend to some business in another part of town. On returning, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he noticed that Mrs. Baker was out of the house and that the dinner table had been left as it was at the time they had finished the noon meal. Presuming, however, that his wife had stepped over to one of the neighbor's home for a moment, he took a newspaper and sat down upon the porch. After an hour's reading he began to grow uneasy and determined to make a search for Mrs. Baker. Just at that moment two young ladies who have rooms at the Baker home and attend school in Corning arrived and in passing down the cellar steps found Mrs. Baker lying at the foot of the stair.
Seward Morris was at the home, and with his assistance a hasty examination was made and a physician was immediately summoned. Life had evidently been extinct for some time. An ugly bruise on the back portion of the head leads one to believe that the lady had fallen a portion of the way down the cellar steps and a small portion of the heel from one shoe found on one of the steps would indicate that Mrs. Baker's foot had in some manner caught, or that she had stumbled and in her efforts to regain her equilibrium had knocked off a portion of the heel from the shoe. Had she fallen when near the foot of the stair it is not possible that the wound on the head would have been so serious as it was evidently made from striking the cement that formed the floor of the cellar.
Mrs. Baker had on a former occasion suffered a stroke of paralysis from which she had recovered to a considerable degree. It is possible that something of this mature might have caused her death but scarcely probable as she would have fallen in a limp manner to the floor under such circumstances and the piece of leather from the heel to the shoe indicates that the foot had come in contact with something with sufficient force to tear off a piece from the shoe. The door at the head of the stair was closed. Had it been open Mr. Baker, on arriving home would have at once looked downstairs for his wife. As it was he did not think of her being there. The case is a very sad one and it will never be known just how the accident occurred.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Nelson Gardner of Prescott in the Christian church at 2:30 o'clock last Sunday, Interment was made in Walnut Grove cemetery.
Catherine Hannold, daughter of John and Elizabeth Hannold, was born May 17, 1841 in Stark County, Ohio. When a small child she moved with her parents to Kosciusko County, Indiana. She died September 20, 1907, aged 66 years, 4 months and 3 days. Deceased was married to Roland Danford in 1860. To this union one child was born, Alice L. Eblen, who now lives near Massena, Iowa. She was married again on July 3, 1867 to Maurice Baker, in Etna Green, Indiana, living there until 1874 when they moved to Adams County, Iowa, where they have since resided.
To this union were born six children, Elleworth, now living in Dakota; Curtis A. and Ottowell of Kirksville, Missouri; William E. and Mrs. Mary Etta May Watson who live near Corning. One child died in infancy. Mrs. Baker united with the Christian Church at Etna Green, Indiana, at the age of 25 years.
