Monroeville Weekly Breeze
Another Old Citizen Gone Squire A. A. Baker, who has been considerable under the weather for the past year, died at his residence on Railroad street last Monday night at the advanced age of 67 years, six months and a few days. Mr. Baker removed here and settled in this country some twenty five or thirty years ago and has been a resident of Monroe township ever since. He was elected Justice of the Peace some twenty years ago, if we are informed correctly and has served in that capacity ever since, with the exception of one or two years. He was the father of thirteen children, ten of which survive him, together with a loving wife to mourn his loss.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the late residence, and services held at the M.E. church, conducted by the Rev. D.S. Miller, after which the remains were interred in the Methodist graveyard.

The Fire At Monroeville
Editors Sentinel:
Our little town is all confusion this morning, after a terrible visitation by fire last night, by which eleven business houses, one hotel and a livery stable were consumed.
The buildings burned were the Monroe House, the residence of Thomas Eyason, the Bakery of Messrs. Kintz & Kennedy, the Livery Stable of James McGregor and the business houses of George Conrad, Boot and Shoe Store in the lower story, and residence in second story; the Restaurant of Messrs. Kintz & Kennedy; the business house of C.H. Schrick, the lower story of which was occupied a saloon, by a man of the name of Miller, and the upper room as the offices of A.A. Baker, E.G. Coverdale and Thomas Stevens; the business house of Baker & Brother, occupied by them as a Clothing and Grocery Store in the lower room, and in the upper room occupied as the Odd Fellows Lodge; the business house of Shell & Brother, occupied as a Dry Store by Mr. Heller, and the business house of D.A. Row, occupied by himself as a Boot and Shoe Store; also the building occupied as a printing office by the Monroeville Democrat.
I think, in most instances, the goods of the parties named were, to a great extent, saved, subject, however, to the usual damage in such cases of excitement.
The fire was first discovered in the building occupied by Messrs. Kintz & Kennedy as a Bakery, at about 11 o'clock PM, and at about half past twelve A.M., the buildings named were in ruins. For a time it seemed as if the greater part of the town must be consumed, and only by the most desperate efforts of the citizens were the flames arrested so soon.
Hoping that out of this hurried scrawl you can make such notice of the calamity as you think best in your paper, I am yours, A. Williamson
