JESSE CLARK BAKER
Died, Monday, Jan. 21, 1901, at 8:35 a.m. at his home in Lucas, Iowa, of an abscess of the stomach, Jesse Clark Baker.
Brief funeral services were held from the home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by the Knights Templar and Masonic orders, of which he was a member, and the remains were taken to Davenport, where they were cremated and the ashes will be placed in the vault in the Chariton cemetery, by his request.
His son, Norman, of Lucas, and his brother, E. S. Baker, of this city, and two Masonic brethren of Lucas, George John and D. O. Campbell, accompanied the remains to Davenport.
Mr. Baker was a native of the "Hoosier State," born in Nashville, Brown county, Indiana, Dec. 29, 1848, a son of early settlers of that state. He came to Iowa with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walker Baker, when he was ten years old.
After being graduated from the public school in Chariton he clerked for several firms about town, finally going into partnership in business with his father. He then sold out and went to Lucas, where for over twenty years he has been a leading businessman, and has done much in various ways to promote the material growth and development of that town.
In 1886 he established the Farmers and Miners Bank in Lucas, and made it one of the most substantial banking institutions in the county. He also engaged quite extensively in farming and stock raising.
On August 19, 1869, Mr. Baker was married to Miss Mattie Steffy, who survives him, together with his mother and their five children, viz: Norman F., Albert L., J. C. Baker Jr., Lora G., and Blanche.
He was a man of a frank and genial nature and had a wide acquaintance throughout southern Iowa. He was a kind-hearted man, a good neighbor, and had a host of friends. The PATRIOT extends sympathy to surviving relatives.
Three sisters and four brothers survive him: M. P. Baker, E. C. Baker, Daniel Baker, Charles Baker, Mrs. Lovering, Mrs. Rankin and Mrs. Simpson.
