The community was shocked on Saturday morning to hear of the death of Mrs. Cash Baker, who had long been familiarly known here as Josie Dobbs. The remains were brought here and she was buried from the Congregational Church on Tuesday afternoon. The L.O.T.M. attended in a body and rendered their burial service, which, interspersed with singing, was very impressive. The father and grandfather of the deceased, Mrs. Carrie Day and Mrs. Eli Leek of Tuscola, Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Smith of Northville and many of Mr. Baker?s family were in attendance.
