George P. Baker

On Thursday morning, George P. Baker, while temporarily deranged, cut his throat with a razor. He has been a resident of Clinton County for the last thirty years and was respected by all those who knew him. He owned and lived on a large farm two miles west of Lyons and leaves a family well cared for. He was over 70 years of age and had been ill, which caused the temporary insanity.
