Christian County loses Valuable Personage - Funeral Held On Monday
The story of the life of Abraham Lincoln Baty fashions, in a way, after the nationally and internationally admire character for whom he was named. He was born on July [inkstain] 1861 in Pope county, Illinois, a son of John L. Baty and Malinda N. McDaniel. Shortly after his birth, a National crisis and his father marched away with the boys never to return. In December, after his third birthday, the news came back to his mother that the husband and father had given his life for his country. The mother then huddled with her family together and took them to her people who lived in Alabama. This was early in the spring of 1864. That same spring, death claimed the mother and Abraham Lincoln Baty, at the age of near three years, found himself parentless. An uncle then took the bereaved children and returned to Illinois in the fall of 1864 and in the spring of the next year, 1865, moved to Howell county, Missouri where they lived until the year 1873 when they moved to Christian county, locating two miles north of Sparta. At this time A. L. Baty was but twelve years old. From then on, his life is an open book to the people of this community. He grew to manhood in a way that was pleasing to his fellowmen and each passing year imbeded him deeper into their hearts. During his early life, he worked for various business men of Sparta, laying up for himself a knowledge of business association which he and his son, Bryant, later used for their own benefit. In the year 1884, he was married to Elizabeth Smith to which union were born three children, one, a son, William J., dying at the age of 13 years. The other two, a son Bryant, the first born, of Springfield , and a daughter, Mrs. Ruth E. Nelson, of Sparta, survive along with their mother, also of Sparta. The deceased also leaves to mourn his loss, three brothers, William and George of Springfield and John of Sparta; also four grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. During his life in the community of Sparta, A. L. Baty took an interest in the affairs of the community. Being successful in his own business, it was no more than natural that the community should seek his assistance in the handling of community affairs. Among the community activities which profited by his assistance was the Baptist church, of which he was a devoted member - the esteem in which his life was held by the church being emphatically acclaimed by both Baptist ministers who officiated at his funeral. He was also a member of the Odd Fellow lodge, which organization attended his funeral services in a body and presided over the services at the grave. A few years ago that part of the county sought a man to elect as associate county judge and A. L. Baty was the man chosen. He so appreciated the faith of his people that he seemed to forsake personal affairs and gave the county the best advice and guidance. He made a careful study of laws governing county administration in the hope that he could better serve his countrymen. He was serving his second term when death called. Until about eight weeks ago, he was active in his help in the administration of county affairs, but it was discovered that he was suffering with a cancer of the stomach and even an operation would be of no assistance to him in battling the disease. It seemed for a time that he was better and had been removed from the hospital to his son’s home in Springfield, where he was on the early morning of Sunday, September 22d when Death called. He and his son, Bryant, had visited the night before until 11 o’clock and Mr. Baty retired feeling much better than usual, but at a quarter of four the Death Messenger called and in but a short time the body had chilled. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon, September 26th [does say Sun was 22nd and Monday was 26th] from the Baptist church, in Sparta, with Rev. Hanks and Rev. Parten, officiating. Burial took place in the Sparta cemetery with B. C. Klepper in charge. No eulogy which can be written could speak of the life of A. L. (Abe: Baty as spoke the actions of his friends and neighbors. Packing the church to overflowing, with hundreds lingering about the doorways and open windows, those who had known him through his lifetime, flocked to a friend. Surrounded by a background of autumn flowers the casket was viewed by tear-dimmed eyes; yet the silence and stillness of the hour was as a message from the life of him, on whose body they looked - that the hour had come when each and every citizen of Sparta and Christian county should resolve to live and work for the betterment of our present day and prepare to meet that messenger from whom none may escape. A. L. Baty lives a big life, a useful life and a profitable life, not alone for himself but for the community at large.
