Obit For Martha Ellen Baker
Headline -
Text The deceased was born in Davis Co., MO, November 19th, 1866. She was married in 1883 and four little children to mourn her loss, and a father, mother and two brothers and one sister, but while God has seen fit to call darling Ella away from our embrace, we know that if faithful to the Lord we will be permitted to meet her around God's throne in heaven, and while it is hard to part with our friends we feel assured that our God does all things well.

Dear Ella, called father and mother to her bedside, and said she was dying. Her mother asked if she was prepared to go. She said everything was bright and clear. She next called her brother Willie. Oh, he is not here. Tell him to meet me in heaven. Then she says tell Johnny to meet me in heaven. Tell Betty, my dear sister, to meet me. She then bid us all good by [bye] and called her little children and asked the blessing of God on them, and called for her dear husband. She became quite for a moment or two and then calling us back said she wasn't going to die. Oh, how, true those words were, for that a Christian never dies. May the blessing of almighty God be with the friends and relatives of the dear sister who is at rest.

She was converted in 1882 and the remains were interred in the Concord Cemetery after the funeral sermon preached by Rev. Norman. We the father and mother and husband of the deceased wish to return our thanks to all that assisted us in taking care of the deceased during her sickness. P. and M.
