He was patient in his suffering and bore his sickness with splendid fortitude. He was a member of the Knights of Maccabees. He was honest, upright and honorable in his dealings.

Besides the wife he leaves to mourn his death, his aged father, John Baker (his mother having preceded him in death eleven years ago), two sisters, Mrs. Ollie Wing, Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Mary Fudge, Winterset; two brothers, John B. and Harry, both of Winterset.
