Baker--Mrs. Baker mother of our neighbor, Joseph Baker, was buried at Cornlea [Granville Cemetery] Wednesday. Mrs. Baker was left a widow in middle life with a large family of Children which by perservance and hard work she brought up to respected manhood. One only daughter died in the morning of life leaving her doubley bereaved but in all her life she had the power of God. To sustain her in joy or sorrow. She retained her faculties of body and mind to a remarkable degree till the last few years, and even then she trusted all in the hands of God and in her fancied injuries said that her God would make it right for her. She was over 80 years old.While we sympathize with her children we also rejoice with them that the clay fetters are broken and her imprisoned spirit has gone to a country where none grow old and the inhabitants never say "I am sick".
Aurelia Baker was the wife of Philemon Baker who died in 1849 in Rochester Township , Cedar County, Iowa. per info supplied by Denise Maine.
