Mrs. Eliza, wife of J.J. Baker of this city, died very suddenly at her home, 214 East Third Street, Tuesday morning at about 5 o'clock, of dropsy of the heart. Deceased had been subject to a heart trouble, but was apparently in her usual health before retiring. She was enjoying a visit from a lady friend from Greene. They both occupied the same bed, and, at the hour mentioned above, the friend called to Mrs. Baker and asked if it was not time to get up. Receiving no response, an investigation found her dead. Mrs. Baker was 65 years old, and leaves a husband and four children, three daughters and the son. Two of the daughters and the son reside in this county, Mrs. John Call, in Waterloo township, Mrs. Geo Thompson, in this city, and the son, J.J Baker, at Cedar Falls.
