Obituary
Mrs. N. J. Baker aged 75 years and 6 months died last Friday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.H. Morris, about three miles from Cleburne on the new Alvarado road. Mrs. Baker was a native of Texas having been born at Nacogdoches on Aug. 1, 1854. She moved to Hood county with her parents when an infant, and grew to young womanhood there. On March 11, 1869 , at the tender age of 14 years she was united in marriage to D.M. Baker, then a courageous young man of 18 years. To this union were born eight children, four sons, and four daughters all of whom survive except one daughter who died a few years ago. Mrs Bakers husband, the idol of her heart, preceded her in death by one year and four months. She moved to Somervell county in 1906 with her husband, and resided on their farm until 1922 when they moved to Terrell to live with a daughter , Mrs. B. F. Thomas, who lived only five months after their arrival. They then moved to Cleburne and made their home at 106 North Allen street, where they resided until the death of her companion. Since that time she has made her home with her son, T. D. Baker. Who resides three miles north of Walnut Springs. Mrs Baker was always kind gentle and patient. On the morning of Feb. 6th she remarked to her son "I must go to Cleburne." The family was surprised and wondered at this statement, as she had never expressed any desire to go anywhere before and she seemed so serious about it on this occasion. Her son made preparations promptly to comply with her wishes. Soon after arriving at her destination she was taken seriously ill with heart trouble and passed away a week later, Fri. morn at 2:50 o'clock she was a devoted Christian and a firm believer in God whom she trusted. She was of the Petecostal faith and passed from this life calling on the name of Jesus. She had all of her plans made and was ready for the journey she was to make soon. She spoke of the beauties of Heaven and the rest for the tired hands and weary heart. Mrs. Baker also spoke of her dear companion as she had seen him in a vision fo clean hands and feet, and the garments so clean and pure and the smile of heaven on his face. This vision she had before leaving her home for the trip to Cleburne. In her last hrs she said "he said he would come back for me" the eyes are closed, the hands are folded the dear heart is stilled, the loving voice will be heard no more. But we know her sweet humble spirit will ever be near to guide those she loved so much. Survived by a sister, Mrs. Delia Garretson, of Granite, Okla; and seven children, J.W. Baker, Rotan, T D Baker, Walnut Springs; C K Baker, Kimble; Mrs J.A. Dunn, Greenfield, Okla; Mrs W H Morris, Cleburne; Mrs Madell Morris, Walnut Springs, and a number of grandchildren, and great grandchildren, besides a host of friends and neighbors all of whom mourn her death. Furnel services were conducted by Rev. E W Copeland, of this place interment was made in the Long Creek Cemetery in Hood county, last Sat. aft at 2 oclock. One who loved her.
