Oscar J. Baker, of High View, whose death on Sunday was told briefly in the Times-Press Monday night, was born in Ohio, May 9, 1837, a son of Caleb Baker and Catherine Carlile. In 1865 at Grahamsville he was married to Hannah M. Irwin. He was a member of the Bloomingburg M.E. Church and had spent practically all of his life in that vicinity.
Mr. Baker is survived by his wife and two daughters, Jennie, wife of Clarence Clark, of Circleville; Bessie, wife of Byron Schoonmaker, of Scotchtown. One half-brother, William Baker, of Fair Oaks, and a half-sister, Mrs. M. A. King, of Bloomingburg, also survive.
The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Bloomingburgh M. E. Church. The services will be conducted by Rev. William Colden.
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled.
The pace made vacant in or home,
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given.
And though on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
We shall meet but we will miss him,
There will be one vacant chair,
As we linger to caress him,
When we breathe our evening prayer.
