• Notes

  from "Decorah Public Opinion", 29 Nov 1922 (iowaoldpress.com) Maude A. Baker, wife of A.C. Baker, of Prospect Place, Decorah, Iowa, passed on a 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Nov. 26th, after a lingering illness of some months, Brights disease being the chief cause, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.T. Waterman, of Davenport, Iowa. Maude A. Davis was born in Lewiston, Maine, Oct. 12, 1862. She was the third child of Otis F. and Sophiah Garcelon Davis of that city. On April 30, 1883, she was united in marriage with A.C. Baker, and made their home at Castalia, Iowa, where their family of five children were born. Twenty five years since they removed to Decorah which has since been their summer home. Of those nearest to mourn her passing are her husband, two daughters and three sons, Mrs. W.T. Waterman of 911 Colege Ave. Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. M.W. Daubney of Long Beach, Cal.; Capt. H.A. Baker, of Okmulgee, Okla.; Arthur A. Baker of Detroit, Minn.; and Lieut. Russell D. Baker, of Guthrie Center, Iowa. She is also survived by a brother, Stephen G. Davis, of Ogema, Minn., and four sisters, Harriet O. Davis of Ipswich, Mass.; Mrs. Rodney Swift, of Auburn, Me.; Mrs. J.C. Conner of Glenville, Neb. and Susie A. Davis of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Baker was the first to pass on of these nearest to her. The final rites take place at the home of her daughter Mrs. Waterman, Dean Hare, rector of Trinity Cathedral officiating, at 11 a.m. the 28th. The remains will be followed to Decorah by her entire family where burial will take place in the Phelps cemetery at 10 a.m. the 29th of November. In the death of Mrs. Baker the entire community here mourns as she was a woman of noble character, and beloved by everybody. She was a devoted wife and mother and to those who are left to mourn her passing most sincere sympathy is extended.
