ALDEN A. BAKER DEAD.
Well Known Business Man Succumbs to Paralysis.
Alden A. Baker, 67 years old, one of the oldest and best known businessmen of Kansas City, Mo., died at 9 o’clock yesterday morning at his home, 913 Holmes street. He was stricken with paralysis about three years ago, and never recovered from his illness, which finally caused his death.
Mr. Baker was born in Maine, July 7, 1837, came west in 1868 and located at Topeka as the representative of the firm Ridenour & Baker, then in the wholesale grocery business at Lawrence, Kan. In 1878 the firm removed to Kansas City and organized the Ridenour-Baker Grocery Company, which has been continuously in business since. At that time Mr. Baker left Topeka and came to Kansas city and was elected director in the new corporation, assuming a position as one of the active managers of the business. This position he held to the present time.
Mr. Baker is survived by his wife and daughter, Miss Stella Baker, two brothers, Harlow W. Baker, of this city and E. P. Baker of Topeka and a sister, Mrs. F. Bixby, who resides in Los Angeles. The funeral will be held in Elmwood cemetery.—Kansas City Journal.
