WORCESTER, June 14th - Mrs Ella K. Baker aged 28, wife of Charles Baker of 184 Salisbury st. and daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Archibald McCullagh of 5 Harrington av., died in Memorial Hospital yesterday after an illness of less than a week. Mrs. Baker was one of the best known young women of Worcester and her death coming yesterday was an especially hard blow as her husband is president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association, which had its annual reunions yesterday afternoon after the commencement exercises earlier in the day. They were married only last September when the plans for one of the big social events of the Fall season in Worcester had to be changed at the last minute because of the sudden death of her brother Archibald McCullough Jr. She was born in Brooklyn N.Y. in 1884, but came to Worcester as a girl when her father accepted the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church. She took courses in academics at Morristown, N.J., Greenneld and at Bertier, Can., and traveled all over Europe and the United States. In addition to her husband and her father and mother, she leaves two brothers, Alexander A McCullagh, a lawyer in Philadelphia, and Samuel McCullagh, a physician in New York City and a sister Mrs. Richard Olney 2d of Dedham. The funeral will be Saturday afternoon at 2 from her home at 184 Salisbury Street.
