WILLIAM CLARK BAKER
A prominent resident of the East End, died at 12:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 129 East Crawford avenue. Mr. Baker, who was employed as a carpenter in the cabinet making shop of Henry Foust and Charles Richners, Eighth street between Eighth and Ninth avenues, was in apparently good health when he went to work yesterday morning, but about 9 o’clock, remarking to Mr. Foust that he had never felt so queer before staggered and fell heavily to the floor in front of his work bench. Mr. Foust summoned a physician, who ordered Mr. Baker’s removal to his home, where he was taken in an unconscious condition. He lingered until 12:30 when he passed away without recognizing any members of his family. Several years ago he had a sunstroke and, though his place of work is indoors, the intense heat of yesterday is thought to have been too much for him. Mr. Baker was born in Dublin Mills, Fulton county, fifty-nine years ago February 19 last. He learned the carpenter trade early in life and followed it continuously. On July 2, 1873, he married Miss Margaret Earl, at the Presbyterian parsonage, Clearfield, Pa., in which town they lived for several years. After residing in Huntingdon for some time they returned to Clearfield, from where they came to this city about twelve years ago. Mr. Baker was a member of the Presbyterian church. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Alice Reeseman of Juniata; Ward Baker of Atlanta, Ga., and Vernon Baker at home. He is also survived by several brothers and sisters: Joseph of Ramey, Clearfield county; George of Huntingdon; Frank of Six Mile Run, Bedford county; Mrs. Elizabeth Corbin of this city, and Mrs. Margaret Bergstresser of Fulton county.
