DR. EVERETT M. BAKER, DIED, in Medina, Orleans Co., N. Y., February 3, 1896, of pneumonia, Dr. EVERETT MILFOLD BAKER, aged forty-one years. Dr. Baker was born in the town of Cambria, Niagara county, N. Y., April 7, 1855. In early life he evinced a fondness for study and developed correct and exemplary habits. Upon leaving the district school he entered the Lockport Union School, where he finished his preliminary education. Having early chosen dentistry as his life work, he entered the dental office of Drs. Balcom & Dickinson, in Lockport, for a term of years, subsequently completing his preparation for practice by attending the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he graduated in the spring of 1877. The same year Dr. Baker opened an office in Medina, where by his industry and skill, added to a pure and blameless life, he came into possession of a large and lucrative practice.
He was a member of the Eighth District Dental Society, and at the time of his death its corresponding secretary. He commanded the respect and esteem of his fellow-associates for his manly and courteous bearing, as well as for his interest in the affairs of the society.
In the community in which he lived he was identified with religious, social, charitable, and fraternal organizations in which his public spirit and interest in the welfare of his fellow-men was strongly manifested. He was an officer in the Presbyterian Church, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Masonic Lodge.
Dr. Baker leaves a widow, with one daughter and two sons.
At 5 pm suffering from a severe cold, he reluctantly canceled engagements with his patients,when he was (?)...(?) and pneumonia developed, (?) falally, after less than a week's sickness.
In the death of Dr. Baker our village losses one of its noblest and best citizens. No one was more universally beloved and esteemed, and few are the men with friends so numerous as our deceased brother. Never have we had the pleasure of the friedship of one who came nearer to the ideal manhood we all aspire to, but so few attain, as was exemplified in the person of Dr. Everett M. Baker. His demise will be most keenly felt, not only by the afflicted family, but by a wide circle of friends, and there will be a void in every relation of life in which he was wont to mingle.
