"Marry Ellen White Baker began her early career in Leavenworth county, Kansas, April 29, 1865, and ended it near Arcadia, Okla., May 31, 1920, at the age of 55 years, 1 month, and 2 days.
She was married to C. A. Baker in the village of her nativity in the year 1882. They moved to Oklahoma in 1891 and she spent nearly all of her remaining years near Arcadia, Oklahoma county, Okla.
To this union fourteen children were born, nine boys and five girls, eleven of whom are still living, three boys having preceded their mother to that beautiful home beyond.
Those who knew her best say she was one of the best women that ever lived in that community. She possessed decided and strong convictions and was very outspoken against whatever she believed was wrong. A few days before she went she called her friends and loved ones around her and gave her parting counsel, asking them to live so as to meet her in Glory. She charged her husband to live right before the children, teach them to be good, live Christian lives and for him to bring them with him to the Good World, assuring him as well as her children they would find her there.
She was a consistent member of the Congregational church, doing only what she believed to be right.
Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church, Arcadia, Oklahoma, by Rev. J. D. Stout. Burial was made in the Odd Fellow cemetery near Arcadia.
She is gone but not forgotten. We cannot bring her back to us, but, thank God, we can go to her. Loved ones, weep not, but rather rejoice, for heaven has been made brighter and more attractive by mother having gone there.
A loved one, Mrs. F. W. Baker."
