• Notes

  from "The Baldwinsville Gazette and Farmers' Journal", 4 July 1889 (fultonhistory.com) AT A RIPE OLD AGE Yesterday afternoon, at the ripe old age of 95 years, Mrs. Hannah Baker, surrounded by children and grandchildren an great grandchildren, passed from the busy scenes of a long and eventful life into the rest that lies beyond the grave. The joys and cares, the hopes and fears, the labors and loves, the wonderful activities of almost a century of time laid aside, the Christian mother takes up the thread of another and better existence, "unmeasured by the flight of years." That she has gone to a fitting reward will not be questioned by those who were familiar with the old time purity and nobleness of character, the Christian faith, the teuder affection and sterling worth of this grand old lady. She was the daughter of Judge Robinson, of Philadelphia, and was born August 4, 1812. Mrs. Baker came to Houston as far back as as 1853, from Baldwinsville, N.Y., having therefore been far over the duration of a generation a resident of that city. Her children, all well-known residents of Houston, who survive her, are Hon. W.E. Baker, Mrs. T. M. Bagley, Mrs. H.D. Taylor. Mrs. A. A. Szabe and Mrs. Julia Clark. Eleven great grandchildren survive the deceased. Only last Sunday was buried the next youngest of her great grandchildren. How keenly all these living representatives mourn the loss of this noble old mother and grandmother, whom they venerated as they loved, only those know who have been called upon to pass through a similar affliction. The strength of will and Christian zeal and physical activity that were Mrs. Baker's distinguishing characteristics in life, were strikingly manifested but a short time since when she insisted on walking some twenty blocks to church. The funeral will occur this afternoon from the residence of Mrs. T.M. Bagley, of Smith street. Mrs. Baker will be interred in Glenwood beside the remains of her son George. It is given to but few in these times to crown such usefulness with such length of days. The children who survive her are all so many living testimonies to the excellence of her character and teachings. - Houston Texas Post, June 25 Major Baker built the house now occupied by Dr. W. W. Perkins, on West Oneida street, and with his estimable wife are remembered by many of our old residents.
