Obituary.

On the 18th Of the present month there
died at the residence of her son-in-law, F.
B. Dunning, at Madison, Wisconsin, Mrs.
Alkaline r. Baker, widow Of Elisha Baker,
one of the earliest residents in the town of
Paris, in Kenosha County.
Mrs. Baker was born at Owasco, Cayuga
County, New York, May Sd, 1918, and was
married at the same place in 1882 to Elisha
Baker. The social advantages she had
early possessed and which left their i'm
preston on her own intellectual life may be
inferred from the fact that her unce, Judge
Price, was the law partner at that time OF
the Hon. William H. Seward.
The young married couple removed to
Wisconsin in 1841 and established the
pleasant home in Paris which was so long
occupied by herself and family. Brave
loyal and wise in their pioneer life, with
her characteristic energy she made happy
the home for her sick husband, whose mem
DRY she always held in such loving regard
When, dying at an early age, he left her
with four small children to struggle alone
with the privations and discomforts of farm
life on the prairie at that period, she met
courageously and successfully the demands
Of her situation. 1t was characteristic OF
this noble woman to endure all things. to
hope all things for those she loved.
In after years when she became crippled
by an accident she bore her in6rmity with
her wonted patience, and unselishly and
perseveringly labored to do what she could
to render happy the loved ones around her
Her cheerful conversation and intelligent
on all subjects of general interest rendered
her a delightful companion to the last
Her clear, pure spirit burned brightly te
the end, and, we can never doubt that with
her life work so nobly done, she rests now
in the bosom of Infinite Love-
Mrs. Baker leaves four children to mourn
her loss: Mrs. Laura B. Gould, Of Somers
Mrs. Frances A. B. Dunning, Of Madison
Mr.. Warren Baker, of Salem; and Myror
A. Baker, Esq, of this city The memory
of her energy, her courage and unselfsI
love will ever afford consolation and in
spiration to those she leaves to follow her.
