After an illness of several months, Miss Josie Baker, age 45, daughter of
Mrs. Robert S. Baker, succumbed to Bright's disease and complications,
Sunday morning at 2 o'clock at her home, 815 South Walnut Street.

Miss Baker was well known in business circles. She worked as bookkeeper in
the Souders Bros. grocery and meat market and later took a similar position
with the Hughes Bros. company. She was compelled to give up her work on
account of ill health. She was born and reared in this community and was
educated in the local schools. She made a large circle of friends by her
kindly and friendly disposition and was well liked in the business world
becuase of her devotion to her work and her dependability.

She was a member of the First M. E. Church.

Survivors are the mother and two brothers, Frank and Elsie Baker.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First
M. E. Church. Dr. W. H. McLean will conduct the services and the music
will be in charge of Mrs. Otto Rott. Internment will be made in Rosehill.
Pallbearers will be Tom Lavender, Cecil Harlow, Milton Williams, Homer
JOnes, W. E. Taylor and Wayne Morris.
