DIED - At her home in town of Ray, Macomb Co., Mich. on the 12th day of May 1883, Mrs. Lucinda B. Baker, aged sixty seven years and eighteen days. She was born in Lockport, Niagara Co., N.Y., April 24th, 1816, and was married to Mr. Palmer N. Baker, June 22d, 1843. To them seven children were born, five sons and two daughters. One son died in infancy; the others, four sons and two daughters, are yet living. Three of the sons were absent at the time of her funeral. She came to Michigan with her family fifteen years ago, settling near Utica, Macomb Co., where on the second day of Feb., 1876, Mr. Baker died. The next year, she moved to the town of Ray where she died in great peace, trusting in the Lord. Both she and her husband gave themselves to the Lord in early life, and first united with the Presbyterian Church at Lockport, N.Y. After settling in Michigan, they united with the Congregational Church at Utica, where they both held their membership until death; and of them both it can be well be said: "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." To the bereaved children and friends, they have left a most blessed assurance of their acceptance in the beloved, who hath said of every on e of his disciples: "Where I am there ye shall be also." Altho' almost entirely deprived of the power of speech (by Paralysis,) for over two years before her death, she was cheerful, and witnessed in many way to her abiding confidence in Him who was able to restore her, and five her a place in his Kingdom with the loved ones gone before. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her. The funeral service was at her home on Tuesday the 15th, attended by a large audience. Sermon on the occasion by Elder J.A. Young, of Romeo, from Revelation 3rd Chapter, 4th verse: "And they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy." Her remains were then taken to Utica for burial; where, by the side of her husband, they were laid away, amid the brightness and beauty of a lovely spring day, to await the call of her Master whom she loved, and in whose promises she found so much peace in believing. And while it doth not yet appear what she shall be, she has the assurance that when he who was her life should appear, she should be like him, for she should see him as he is. In this blessed hope she fell asleep in Jesus. May the influence of her sweet Christian life ever abide with her children, helping them to follow the same precious Savior.
