Three years ago she and her husband moved to Audubon that they might rest from heavy work and enjoy the evening of their lives. But Mr. Baier was not well and after a long siege of sicknee as the sun was sinking in the west, she closed her life here Good Friday and began the new day of Eternal Joy, for Mrs. Baier was a Christian woman.
