27 January 1949 - The Tipton Advertiser

Charles A. Baker, son of Alfred C. and Amelia Baker, was born near Mechanicsville, February 7, 1884, and passed away at the Mercy hospital in Cedar Rapids, Jan. 20, 1949.

He farmed for several years near Cedar Bluff and moved to Tipton in 1931, when he was married to Lois Hepner, who preceded him in death December 2, 1940. He is survived by a brother, B. J. Baker, of Mechanicsville, two nieces Mrs. Ralph Pierce of Tipton, and Mrs. Madge Robinson of Mechanicsville, and also several cousins and a host of friends.

He had been in failing health for a number of years but always bore his affliction with such cheerfulness that he won the admiration of all who knew him.

Services were conducted at the Wilson funeral home Monday, Jan. 24th by Rev. Harold Kratzat, of the Evangelical and Reformed church, and interment was made in the Masonic cemetery.

Art Hain and Mrs. J. E. Chamberlain sang selected hymns accompanied by Mrs. C. C. Crawford.
