SUSIE BAKER #1 of 3
Mrs. Susie R. Baker, daughter of John N. and Elizabeth Boyd was born at Osceola, Missouri, November 2nd, 1867, and called to her reward August 7, 1919.
Professing faith in Christ at the age of 13, she was baptised in the fellowship of Concord Baptist Church near Lowery City, Mo. This faith grew stronger and stronger as the years went by, and ever when clouds made dim life's
pathways, she trustingly laid her hand in His, who lead her in the "paths of righteousness for His name's sake."
She was married to John H. Baker February 21st, 1888, and to them were born three daughters and four sons, all of whom are living to suffer the loss of the family's most cherished member, for when Mother's chair is vacant each heart in the household has ever an unsatisfied yearning a void that cannot be filled, and especially is it true of this one. The business affairs of life make it necessary for the husband and father to be away from home much of the time and on these occasions it was "Mother" who assembled the little flock, read from God's book the conforting passages that she so loved, and then reverently and
lovingly knelt in prayer to him who never forsakes the child who trusts in his word.
The family moved to Arkansas in 1906 and later to the town of Rison, their home for the past few years, where Mrs. Baker has ever been admired for her sweet quiet christian life and earnest devotion to her church.
The entire village felt deeply the loss, when the silent form, on whose features still rested a peaceful smile, was laid neath the sod in the "silent city' on the hill, and every heart went out in sympathy to the bereaved family.

IN MEMORY OF SUSIE BAKER #2 of 3
We the members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, wish to pay our respects to the loving memory of our friend and co-worker, Mrs. Susie Baker, who God took from us August 7, 1919.
With her life, she exemplified the principals of our grand organization. The emblem of which is the bow of white ribon whose streamers encircle the earth and embraces everything that is pure and good and denounces intemperence and sin of all kinds with it's blighting influences which makes the white life impossible.
We love her and we will cherish her sweet memory. Oh for more mothers like she. And example of worthy imitation.
We extend to the bereaved husband our deepest sympathy and the precious children who have so willingly heeded her council, we want to confort and console. We encourage them to live in the light of the blessed teaching of mother. Mrs. Gussie May, Maggie Norton, Frances Williams, Committee
MRS. J.H. BAKER #3 of 3
In Memory of Mrs. J.H. Baker
Whereas it hath pleased Almighty God in His infinite wisdom to call from earth our beloved sister and co-worker Mrs. J.H. Baker.
Be it resolved that we the Woman's Missionary Union of the Rison Baptist Church feel that we have sustained a great loss in the death of Sister Baker but we know that our loss is Heaven's gain so we humbly submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well.
We the members of the W.M.U. extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and can only point them to the great comforter in this sad hour of bereavement.
Therefore Be it resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved husband, one to the Baptist Advance, and another to the Cleveland County Herald for publication. Then a copy be placed in record with the Sec. of the W.M.U. Committee Mrs. E.A. McMurtrey, Mrs. A.J. Hamilton.
