THE DEATH OF Dr. MOSES BAKER
Dr. Moses Baker died at eleven o’clock last night at his home in Stockwell. Death was the result of an infection of the brain with which the deceased had been troubled of late and by which he was confined to his bed for two weeks previous to his death. All that skill and science could do to save his life was done, but the efforts were unsuccessful and at last the man who had saved hundreds of lives by his zeal and skill was forced to succumb to the inevitable.
Dr. Moses Baker was a pioneer physician of Tippecanoe county and an honored and respected citizen of much influence. He was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, January 29, 1823. Reuben Baker, his father, was a native of Maine, who in early life settled near Wheeling, West Virginia, afterward removing to Hamilton County, Ohio, and then to Montgomery in the same state. He came to Tippecanoe county in 1837, and made his home in Lauramie township, where he died January 12, 1849. The mother, Hannah Whidden Baker, died October 15, 1863.
