Jacob Baker Rites to be Held Sunday
One Of Grand Old Men Of Green Tp. Succumbs To Infirmities Of His Years
Jacob N. Baker, whose death occurred yesterday at his home on Raccoon below Northup, had been an industrious, thrifty, prosperous and upright farmer. He never spoke ill of anyone, attended strictly to his own proper affairs, and commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him and the abiding
love of those who belonged to his immediate circle by reason of kinship or association.
For nearly a week he had lain in a coma, for a fortnight he had been unable to take nourishment except very sparingly of the lightest foods, and he passed away from this sphere gently and quietly and peaceably and thus in harmony with the tempo of his long life. He was 88 Years old.
Mr. Baker was born near Marietta and in Washington County, Oct. 15, 1850, having entered upon his 89th year. He was named for his father and his mother's maiden surname was Kasch. He was the last of his generation of his family. When he was quite young the family moved to this county. In his early days he worked for the Smithers family of this city.
On March 24, 1880, he married America Northup, who survives him, and who looks back over nearly three score years of loving service to a loyal and devoted husband and six appreciative and worthy children. Except for four years at Hampton, Iowa, and two years on Little Bullskin, the Bakers had spent their married life in the home in which he died.
Surviving children are Garnet, wife of W.W. Sigler of this city; Wilbur A. Baker, Springfield, Ill.; Mrs. Pearl Heil, Malta, Ohio; Mrs. Bermice (sp) Anderson, Jacksonville, Ill.; Charles E. Baker, at the old homestead, and Mrs. Jessie Berridge, Royal Oaks (sp), Mich. One child died in infancy. There are eight grandchildren and these two great-grandchildren, Sonny Withrow and Kenneth Baker, both of Springfield, Ill.
Funeral services will be held at the residence at 1 o'clock Sunday, with Rev. L. W. Gishler of the Presbyterian church in charge. Burial in Mound Hill cemetery by George J. Wetherholt & Sons. For pall bearers have been selected Charles Northup, Henry Kerns, Lewis Grube, Luther Donally, Herman Northup and Charles Rose.
