John R. Baker Died Friday Morning
End Came About Eight O'clock
Without Pain or Suffering
Mr. John Riley Baker, one of the early pioneers of Taylor County, died Friday morning, June 27, 1930, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Stillman B. Aid. His death came as a surprise to many, as few realized his true condition. He was up and around as usual the day before, and only for the fact that he was each day becoming more restless and discontented, his condition seemed about the same. Only those who were with him constantly, realized that the end was drawing near.
Obituary.
John Riley Baker, son of Martha E. [Locke] and Bryant Higgs Baker, was born in Monroe County, Tennessee, January 20, 1847, and departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. [tillman] B. Aid, in New Market, Iowa, June 27, 1930, being at the time of his death 83 years, 5 months and 7 days old.
His parents moved to Georgia in the spring of 1847, living there until 1850, then moved to Davis County, Iowa. They came to Taylor County in 1855, where he has since resided.
He was united in marriage with Martha M. Alvord, November 27, 1866. To this union were born four children, three of whom preceded their father in death. They were Martha E. who died Oct. 25, 1895; Mrs. Harriett L. Wisecup, Sept. 4, 1889; and Jesse A., Oct. 31, 1895. One daughter, Mrs. Elba J. [ane] Aid, survives her father. His wife, Martha M. Baker, died August 9, 1912.
Besides the daughter, he leaves to mourn his departure, three brothers: Samuel of Clarinda; Elihu M. of Gravity; and William H. of El Reno, Okla.; two grandchildren, Roy Aid and Mrs. Nellie Journey, both of New Market; seven great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
On May 11, 1925, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Sarah Bergan of Burlington Junction, Mo. She passed away Oct. 25, 1928.
He was a member of the Baptist church, having first united with the church at Hayden Grove in 1876. Having moved to the vicinity of New Market, he became one of the charter members of the New Market church, which was organized in 1882. He has always lived a faithful Christian. The funeral was held at the Baptist church in New Market, Sunday, June 29, 1930, at 2:00 p. m. conducted by Rev. E. B. Osborn. Interment was made in Memory cemetery.
Relatives and friends from out of town who attended the funeral were:
Mr. and Mrs. Gail Aid and daughter and Mrs. Jessie Aid of Council Bluffs; Mr. and Mrs. Will Aid of Shenandoah: Mrs. Louisa Perry of Emmett, Calif.; Mr. and Mrs. Claire Perry of Shambaugh; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Baker and son of Le Roy; Mr. and Mrs. Don Curry of Shambaugh; Mr. Samuel Baker, Mr. and Mrs. James and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Baker, Mrs. Emma Wisecup and granddaughter, Mrs. Kate Alvord, Mr. and Mrs Jesse Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Wilson, and Miss Stella Alvord, all of Gravity; and Mr. and Mrs. Salyards of Lenox.
The sincere sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved relatives in their sorrow.
