"DEATH OF JOHN R. BAKEE
The Father of the Missing Broker Expires at Dublin, N. H.
John R. Baker, who or many years was one of the leading dry goods merchants of this city, died on Tuesday, in his 80th year, at Dublin, N. H. Mr. Baker's residence in this city was at 112 South Twenty-first street, from which the funeral will take place as soon as the remains can be brought home. His death was undoubtedly hastened by the shock attendant on the disappearance of his son, John R. Baker, Jr., some two years ago. At that time the flight was one of the sensations of the day and it was subsequently discovered that the young man had misappropriated trust funds of his grandfather's estate.
The embezzlement amounted to over $1,00,000, and the shock gradually broke his father's health. Mr. Baker was the oldest living member of the Hibernian Society, having been elected in May, 1840. His death will make the mantle of seniority fall upon Judge James Campbell, who was elected in September of the same year."
