Ambrose Baker, at the age of 67 years 11 months and 22 days. Deceased leaves a wife and two daughters and several step-daughters to morn his loss.

" Gently fold his wasted hands,
Smooth the hair to silvery bands
O'er the brow where lines of care
Time has wrought so gently there.
Calm and still, no wild alarm
Stirs the heart so free from harm.
He sleeps beneath the cold gray sod;
He who knew the Love of God.
Weary grew his eyes and dim.
Yet his faith was strong in Him.
And he watched and waited long
For the Angles greeting song.
Oft' when worn with grief and pain
Could we hear his voice again,
It would soothe the aching brow,
But no sign he heedeth now.
But we would not call him back,
More to tread life's dusty track.
He's gone to dwell in that blest abode,
To be for evermore with God.

Her children were all with her excepting a daughter who resided in Oklahoma. She died as she had lived, peacefully, quietly and trustingly, having found her Saviour while young. She was baptized and joined the M.E. Church at the age of 20 and has always been prayerful, helpful and trusting. Besides her children she leaves four grandchildren, great grandchildren and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.

Gone to thy rest darling mother,
Gone from a world of care.
Sadly we miss thy loving form,
At rest in the old arm chair.
How softly did the angles call,
And swung open the pearly door,
To waft thee gently o'er the dark river
To the loved ones who have gone before.
Gone to thy rest darling mother,
Gone to the home of the blest,
To dwell in heaven with the angles so fair,
And sweetly with Jesus to rest.
We miss you my darling mother,
The embers burn low on the hearth,
And stilled is the stir of the household,
And hushed is the voice of mirth.
But we know that again we may meet you,
In the land of the pure and blest,
And from heaven thy loved voice is calling,
Come with me and fine perfect rest.

To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
And ever near us though unseen
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life - there is no dead.
