Notes
a. Note:   [baker.new.FTW] Buried Owensville Cemetery A tribute was written to Mary which reads as follows: Marvelous is the influence of a well directed and a well lived life. Such is now the history of Mrs. Mary A. Baker, who passed away April lst on Easter day at the home of her daughter Mrs. J. T. Phillips, Marlin, Texas. Our hearts should fill with gratitude as we stand before the wonderful record of this dear mother and pioneer who has for the passed 88 years given herself unstintedly and unselfishly to the purification of society by living a devoutly religious life. She sought rather to suffer the afflections of the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of this world for a reason, she opted to lay up treasures where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and therebyshe served her day and generation well. She was a lofe long Methodist, having been a member more than three qurters of a century and when the end came her lamp was trimmed and burining with a glow that gladened the years of love ones. Not only did she lay up treasures in that invisible city, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, but she left upon this earth to mingle with men a legacy beyond our comprehension, in that she instilled into the lives of her five children the high ideals of Christian living. Mrs. Baker was born in Mississippi in the year 1835; coming to Texas and settleing in Palestine in 1845. After remaining there a number of years, she was married to Elijah Baker in 1855 they immediately moved to Owensville and there they reared their family. Mr. Baker died at Owensville in 1879 leaving Mrs. Baker a widow. Interment was at the Owensville cemetery near their former home. Mrs. Baker is survived by five children: J. A. Baker of Waco, Mrs. J. T. Phillips, Marlin, James Baker, Chickasha Okla., Mrs. S. P. Simms Franklin and Ed Baker of Franklin. Also twenty nine grandchildren, twenty one great grandchildren and one great great grand child.
