Peter BAKER, well known Rochester carpenter, who had been a resident of this city for many years, dropped dead shortly before noon Tuesday at his home on West Eighth street, a victim of heart failure. Mr. Baker's health had been failing for several years and he had not actively engaged in his usual work, but that his condition was such as to cause his death was not suspected by his two daughters, with whom he lives.
He had been active Tuesday morning and was sitting on a couch in his home just before noon. He asked his daughter, Miss Bertha Baker, who was preparing lunch, if she could not hurry the meal a little as he had to go to Argos on business. She replied that she would and as she turned to him to make her answer, she noticed that his head started to droop.
She immediately stepped to his side just in time to catch him as he started to fall. Death came immediately. Mr. Baker would have been 70 years of age April 6th. He is survived by two daughters, Misses Bertha BAKER and Bess BAKER. His wife [Ellen BAKER] died a number of years ago.
Funeral arrangements later.
