Death of Mrs. Baker
A very sad death took place, Sunday, at the home of Rev. Avery, on Waukazoo Ave., when Mrs. Nancy Baker, of Kegomic, passed away, the cause being apoplexy. Her death come as a severe shock to her children and friends, as she had been as well as usual, attending to her accustomed tasks in the morning. When church time came she went to the Mennonite church, of which she was a faithful attendant, and toward the close of the service was stricken down. The seriousness of her sickness was not understood at once, the attack was so sudden, but she was immediately carried to Rev. Avery's home and a doctor sent for who pronounced the case apoplexy, and the patient was found to be beyond help. She passed away about 10 o'clock. Her death comes doubly hard on her four children as the father, Jacob Baker, died about a month ago and they are now left without either father or mother.
The funeral was held at their home at Kegomic, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev, Avery in charge and the interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. She was 50 years old, five months and 29 days old.
Census record show children as Jacob Milton abt 1877,Ina abt 1879,Clarence abt 1882, and Mary Ellen abt 1887.
Taken from Greenwood Cemetery website;
We also have a Potter's Field section where burials were made of persons too poor to purchase a lot and pay for the burial. None of those graves are marked, each of them was someone's child or mom or dad and each of them deserves to be recognized as having lived. Many times when I work around these sections I am saddened that these lives have been essentially forgotten by family, friends and society. We care for the Potter's Field sections in the same way we care for the rest of the grounds and in the area where indigent burials are made currently the Cemetery provides a small marker to designate the grave.
