Our Oldest Citizen Gone.
Nathan F. Baker was born in Ohio, March 8, 1821, and died in South Haven, Kansas, Oct. 2, 1907, being 86 years, 7 months and 24 days old.
The deceased was the youngest of eleven children, all of whom have crossed over before him. He grew to manhood in Ohio and then moved to Illinois, where he was married to Permelia Wilson, and to them were born 12 children, 8 of whom are still living. From Illinois he moved to Iowa, and from there to Sumner county in 1877. His first wife having died before he came to this state, he was here married in 1879 to Josephine A Nandain, who still survives him. To this union was one son, who now lives in Chicago.
When the war of the rebellion broke out, Bro. Baker enlisted in the service of his country and served for three years as a faithful soldier. But there is another army in which he served long and faithfully. At the age of 16 he was converted and united with the Methodist church. There being no Methodist church near him in Iowa, he united with the United Brethren. But after coming to Kansas he became acquainted with the doctrines of the Christian church and united with it. A more faithful Christian tan he would indeed be hard to find. He was always at his place of duty when at all possible. He lived in a highly spiritual atmosphere and was an inspiration to all about him. His last words were, "All is well," and then tried to sing Glory Hallelujah.
He was eminently respected by all who knew him, and none can speak a harmful word truthfully of him. For 17 years he had been honored with the office of the city treasurer, holding that office at the time of his death, and his business was always honorably and systematically done. To his honor the city presented a beautiful wreath of flowers.
Funeral services were held in the Christian church Oct. 3, by Elder J.M. Morris and the sermon preached from II Tim, 4:6-7, after which the body was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery at await the call of the righteous at the great day. The mourning wife and sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of all.
