CHRISTIAN BAER - LUCAS - When Christian Baer closed his eyes to the scenes of this worked for the last time last Friday we lost a good citizen, the neighborhood a good neighbor and his wife and children a good husband and father. In fact his kindness for those whom he took to be his friend is in no doubt what hastened his death, as his troubles for the past year have been more than he could bear and all this trouble was brought about by a few little kind acts, by bailing until he became so much involved that he was compelled to assign his property to Charles Ritter of Mansfield.
Mr. Baer was a German, being born in Germany in the year 1833 and emigrated to this country in 1848 and by hard work and economy acquired a good farm and had it well-improved, but at a time when least expected reverses came and he lost nearly all of it again. In 1884 he was elected county commissioner and was re-elected in 1887.
He leaves a wife, two daughters and eight sons. He was for many years a member of Monroe Lodge, No. 224, I.O.O.F. and was buried by the ceremony of that order at Mansfield, Sunday at 4 p.m.
