Son of Robert & Mary Jane
-----
Alvin C. Baker, 77, one of Tippecanoe county's prominent citizens, died at his home in Lafayette, Wednesday. He had been in failing health for several months.
Mr. Baker was a son of Robert Baker, a pioneer undertaker of Dayton. In early life Alvin Baker succeeded his father in the undertaking business, but after conducting the business several years, he turned it over to his son, Dwight Baker, and he then moved to Lafayette, where he entered the banking business, having been president of the Farmers & Traders bank a number of years. He served two terms as county commissioner, and was engaged in various enterprises that looked to the betterment of the county in which he lived.
The funeral service will be conducted at the home Saturday, and the burial will be in the Dayton cemetery.
----
Mr. Baker's Death reminds some of the older people of the days in which his father used a hearse drawn by one horse. He not only served as undertaker, but he also preached the funeral sermon when requested to do so.
