Samuel Baker
A coroner's verdict shortly after noon today established the cause of death to Samuel BAKER as coronary embolism; his age as 72, he having been born in Indiana Nov. 8, 1873. His wife met death in an accident at Fulton several years ago. He was a retired farmer and a member of the Fulton lodge IOOF.
Surviving are two sons, Edgar [BAKER], of Rochester, and Lyman E. [BAKER] of South Bend; a sister, Miss Becky BAKER of Greentown, and two brothers, Ollie [BAKER] of Galveston and Joseph [BAKER] of Michigan.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
Sam Baker, about 70, slumped and died on the courthouse steps at the base of the courthouse lion, north entrance of the county building, at about 11:00 o'clock this morning.
Baker, who resides on East 10th street, just off Franklin avenue, has two sons, otherwise, little information was available at press time today. He carried no identification on his person and several reports were current regarding identity before it became positive.
Some conjecture was expressed as to whether or not he suffered a heart seizure or whether he slipped and fell, striking his head on the stone steps, as either cause may well have caused death. At press time Coroner [Dean K.] STINSON had not made his decision.
Baker's lifeless body was discovered by County Treasurer Russel VOORHEES who was leaving the court house for lunch. He was removed to the Foster funeral home.
