Ulysses Grant Baxter, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Baxter, was born in Orange County, Indiana, September 4, 1886; died in Saint Cloud, Florida, May 17, 1934.
He was married to Miss Flora Roberts July 8, 1896, at Urbana, Illinois. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Baxter resided on a farm near Ogden until the death of the wife, when Mr. Baxter went to Florida to be with his aged father, who was in failing health. With his children married, he felt that his father, a Civil War veteran, needed his care and help and he remained with him until his death.
His son, Earl, of Ogden, was at Mr. Baxter’s bedside and did all a son could until the time of his passing, and brought his body to his home north of Ogden for funeral services and burial.
Surviving him are his son Earl Baxter of Ogden, and one daughter, Geneva, of Huntington, West Virginia; his aged father, five brothers, two sisters, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His mother and two sisters preceded him in death.
He was a member of the Odd Fellows’ Lodge.
Mr. Baxter was characterized by his industry; he was always looking after the welfare of his family; always ready and willing to help others. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
