In Memoriam
George A. Baker, youngest son of D. S. Baker of this place, passed away Monday morning aftr a lingering illness, the last of few days of which were marked by great suffering but equal fortitude and patience. His death was due to tuberculosis.
The interment took place from the Methodist Espicopal church Wednesday at 10:30 a. m., Rev. Dimmick preaching a brief but forceable sermon. The service was rendered unusually impressive by the appropriate rendering of several beautiful songs by a double quartet composed of mrs. Ferris and Mrs. Stanyar, sopranos; Mrs. Stewart (organist) and Miss Allen, alto; Mr. Law and Mr. Allen, tenors; Mr. Dicks and Mr. Suttles, bassos. The opening song, "Lookng This Way," was particularly appreciated. The altar and casket were beautifully adorned, flowers being furnished by many friends, including Mrs. Ryder, Mrs. Meacham, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Teagar, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Thornton and Miss Wilson. The decorations were arranged by Mrs. Cleary, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Winton and Mrs. Pangborn.
At the conclusion of the service the large audience sadly viewed the remains and then followed the bier in respectful procession to the cemetery, where the brief service of the church eased as much as might be the pangs of final parting.
The pallbearers were Loren Toles, James Grant, Harvey Warren, Geo. Brumbly, John Allen and James O'Neil.
The immediatly bereaved, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Mr. Fred Baker, a brother of the deceased, and Mrs. Della McGee, ask us to extend to each one of those who were so kind during their trying hours, their sincerest thanks and the assurance that their kind acts have been written down in the book of memory.
George A. Baker was born at Winterport, Maine, Sept. 19, 1869; died at Arlington, Washington, December 16, 1901, aged 32 years, 3 months and 27 days. He came to this state with his father eighteen years ago, but had spent the last five years in the grocery business at San Francisco. George was universally liked, being a gentleman in the best sense of the word. He was cheerful, courteous and considerate of others to the last, and seemed to view th termination of his illness with equanimity, saying to Mrs. Grant a few hours before his death, "I am perfectly satisfied with all this."
