From The Lampasas Daily Leader of 30 December, 1912:
John Baker, who was accidentally shot Friday night, died Sunday morning about 1 o'clock, and the body was taken to Belton for interment, more than twenty persons, relatives and friends, accompanying the body from here.
No death more sad, or the cause of more open sympathy ever occurred anywhere, and it is difficult to write of it. A young man in the prime of life taken away from wife and child, mother, brothers and sisters, friends and associates; but he is gone and we can only look back upon his upright life, his cheerful disposition, his faithfulness as a son, husband and father, and regret that he is gone.
He was conscious until almost the last, and leaves a hope of a reward in the better land.
Mother, widow, brothers and sisters have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends in this their sad and sudden bereavement.
