Baker of Lowery City, Mo., also survives. The deceased came to Rison in 1913 and for four years following he was superintendent of the local public schools. Following his retirement from head of Rison School he continued to make his home here until he moved to Louisiana, a few years later. NATIVE OF OHIO Mrs. Baker was born in the state of Ohio, March 12, 1865 and at an early age moved with his parents to Sinclair county, Missouri. He finished his education at Southwest Baptist College, Bolivar, Mo., taking his B.A. degree from that institution. On Feb. 21, 1888, he was married to Miss Susie R. Boyd who died in 1919. His second marriage was in 1920 when he was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Slater, who survives him. Upon the completion of his scholastic preparation, Mr. Baker entered the teaching profession and for something over 30 years he taught in the schools of Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. He was converted at the age of 16 and united with the Baptist Church which he faithfully served as a ordained minister for over 20 years.Prof. Baker's acquaintance with the people of Rison dates back to the summer of 1913 when he came to Rison as Superintendent of Rison High School, in which capacity he served for four years. He identified himself with the Christian people of the town and soon showed his towering strength as a community builder and leader. As superintendent of the local school, he gave himself in service as a character builder. Many young men and housewives, who have become leaders for good and elsewhere, point with pride to the time they were associated with Mr. Baker as teacher and student. It was then that they gained the good and wholesome influence exemplified by the life of unselfishness that inspired them to noble endeavors. The deceased gave freely of his life, time, and money in the service of humanity "and all in all we may say, he was sun crowned and lived above the fog." Hundreds of local people have paid him the greatest tribute by saying "He was indeed a good man."
