Grace Baker

Little Grace Baker the second daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Chas. Baker of West Blackwell avenue died at the home of her parent’s early last Sabbath morning.
From the time of her birth the child had been in a state of delicate health but during the past summer her health so improved that her parents and friends were led into the hope that she would yet become strong and vigorous.
A week ago, however, she contracted a severe cold but nothing serious was apprehended until late Saturday evening when marked symptoms of congestion set in and death resulted a few hours later.
Grace was born July 22, 1897. She was a sweet affectionate child greatly beloved by those among whom she moved. Her delicate health had made her shy and deeply sensitive and this possibly all the more served to bind her close to her parents and friends.
The funeral was held at 3 o’clock on Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Jas. Craighead and the little form were followed to the cemetery by a number of sympathizing friends.
“Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
