Fate, of near Richland, S.D., on Friday September 18, 1925, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hiram Holm, after a brief illness, of internal goiter. Laura Jane Baker was born July 31, 1855, at Rio, Wisconsin, and died September 18, 1925, at the age of 70 years, 1 month and 17 days. She spent her early childhood days in Wisconsin. During the Civil war her father, Robert Baker, enlisted in the army and served his country. In 1865 she, with her parents and younger sisters, joined a wagon train that was coming to Dakota. That fall they reached Sioux City, which was then a village. There they spent the winter and in the spring of 1866 moved to their homestead near Elk Point. Here they resided until after her father's death. She attended school in Elk Point for a number of years. Later she taught in the Brule school. In 1877 her sister, Alice, and husband, Al Stringer and a number of other families and friends, decided to go overland in a covered wagon, train to Idaho, and invited Laura to go with them. She made the trip with them and it has always been one of her most pleasant memories. She stayed in Boise City, Ida., with her sister and family until the spring of 1878, when she came back to Dakota. On May 9, 1878, she was united in marriage with W.H.H. Fate. There was born to this union seven children, all of whom have; grown to manhood and womanhood in the home community. No child could have had a dearer or more unselfish mother whose memory to cherish. Their entire married life has been spent on the homestead, on which Mr. Fate filed at the close of the Civil war. Left to mourn her death are her husband W.H.H. Fate, and children, Thos. L. Fate, Robert M. Fate, Mrs. Almina Holm, Mrs. Alice E. Johnson, of Union county, S.D.; James E. Fate and Mrs. Nellie Johnson, of Presho, S.D.; Mrs. Addie Stout, of Kadoka, S.D., and William H. Fate, of Daily, Colo.; also fourteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren. There are also four sisters, Mrs. Mary Hanson of Long Beach, Cal., Mrs. Alice Rogers of Boise City, Idaho, Mrs. Addie Gibbard and Mrs. Ida Hatch, both of Fresno, Cal., besides many friends and neighbors, all of whom wish to express their deepest sympathy to the bereaved family, and especially to her afflicted husband, who is in the Akron hospital. Funeral services were in charge of Rev. W. Strong at the Richland M.E. Church on Monday afternoon, September 21, and were largely attended. Interment was in Richland cemetery.
