Moser, in Homestead, Fla., arrived in Emporia this afternoon on Santa Fe train No. 1. The body was taken to Maplewood Cemetery for burial and Dr. R.B.A. McBride had charge of the services. ****************************************** This information is from FAG member #48124075: From the Homestead Enterprise, January 30, 1919, page 8: MEED BAKER Meed Baker was born at Andersonville, Indiana, November 22, 1833, and died at the home of his brother-in-law, R. L. Moser, near Homestead, January 24, 1919, at the age of 85 years, 2 months and 2 days. He was united in marriage in the year 1868 to Margaret Linscott, who passed away February 28, 1914. To them were born three children, of whom two daughters survive him, Mrs. Lora Brown of Kansas City and Mrs. Margaret Rosier of Pittsburg. M. Baker was always a pioneer, going to Illinois at an early date, and then to Kansas, where he resided near Emporia for many years, until almost eight years ago when he came to Florida, and at his advanced age he labored hard clearing and planting a grove, which was just coming into profitable bearing when the summons came. He had been laboring with an energy that would do credit to a younger man up to about two weeks ago when, being out in the rain, he took cold and was prostrated with a chill. At his great age it was impossible for him to rally and he grew steadily worse until the end. In his years of residence here he made many friends, but did not go out in society much as his deafness made it difficult for him to visit with much satisfaction. He was certainly a good old man. The funeral was held at the home of R. L. Moser, January 25th, at 2:30 p.m., Rev. W. J. Carter, pastor of the White Stone church, officiating. Music rendered by Dr. and Mrs. Gamble, Mrs. W. J. Carter, Misses Richie and Pollard and Mr. Graves. The remains were taken to Emporia, Kansas, to be interred beside those of his wife. ****************************************** Meed Baker filed for his homestead, the west half of the S.E. ¼ of 22-57-38 and the west half of the N.E. ¼ of 27-57-38 on June 18, 1911 and proved it up on May 13, 1913.
