Moses Baker
Moses Baker was born in Botetourt County, Virginia, March 28, 1846. He was the son of Samuel and Anne Baker and was the last of his family.
At the age of sixteen he enlisted in the service of his country and served eighteen months under Capt. Stevenson of Co. I. At the close of the war, he came to Morgan Center, Ohio and there he met Miss Julia Vance to whom he was married Sept. 18, 1870. Eight children came to gladden their home. Three of those, Mrs Ida Brown, Mrs Amanda Fraser and Miss Anne have passed on to their heavenly home. The aged wife and five other children, Jacob, Samuel and James of Addison, Ohio, Mrs. Oren Gretsinger of Mingo Junction, Ohio, Mrs. Sterlie Roush of Addison Ohio; twenty-three grandchildren and countless friends and relatives mourn the loss of one whose place in their hearts can never be filled.
At the age of twenty-three, he was baptized into the Christian Church at Morgan Center, where his membership has ever since remained.
Thirty-six years ago he moved his family to Addison and has ever since resided there. Although feeble in later years, he was able to go about his farm and to the homes of his near neighbors until a week before his death. All that loving hands could do was done for him but death called and Wednesday at 7:20 Aug. 25, he went to meet the dear ones gone before him.
Death should come gently to pass
To one of gentle mold like thee
Close thy dear eyes calmly, without pain;
And we will trust in God to see thee yet again.
Kind hearted, generous to a fault those in want never appealed to him in vain, and those who knew him best loved him most.
The old arm chair is empty now,
The voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom hath recalled
The beon His love hath given,
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
