GENERAL JAMES Il. BAKER.

Death has. robbed Mankato and
Minnesota of landmark. The name
of General James H. Baker has been
and always will be linked with this
city and state as one of their fore
most men. He occupied a prominent
role in the formative period of this
commonwealth and assisted the state
through the ills of its infancy.
An all-sided man, he was capable
of handling. successfully many diff
cult parts on the stage of life. He
was of large brain and broad mind,
of keen perception and possessed a
grasp of affairs that was remark
able He dealt with large things. He
was a scholar, orator, writer, soldier,
statesman, logician. Socially he was
a factor in city and state.
AS a practical state builder he at
tanned prominence by calling attention
to the wealth that lay hidden in the
earth and which has since been de-
veloped far beyond the expectations
of those who first became interested
in these valuable natural resources.
In all things that meant for the up
building of the state, General Baker
measured up to any task which was
assigned him. He was an inteliectu'
al giant, physically an imposing fig,
ure and in his personal habits clean
and uplifting. His wonderful career
is an inspiration for young men who
seek to gain the top round of life's
ladder,

HAS PASSED TO BEYOND

From Tuesdays Daily
Seymour Leslie Leavitt, former
resident of Mankato. and a well
known man in this city and vicinity
for many years, died at a hospital
in Houston, Texas, May 10, from
ptomaine poisoning. He was fifty
three years old. 1t is supposed that
he contracted ptomaine poisoning
from a meal he ate at restaurant
in Houston. He has been engaged in
the real estate business there since
July of last year. He is survived
by two brothers, Henry HI. Leavitt
of Ashland, Oregon and T. F. Leavitt
of this city. The body was brought
to Mankato, and buried under the
auspices of the Centenary Methodist
church., of which Mr.. Leavitt was a
member. A very appropriate SER
mon was preached by Rev. W. R.
Keesey, and the choir rendered a
number of beautiful hymns. Inter
ment took place at Minneopa GENE
terry The floral offerings from his
friends were many and beautiful.
There was large bouquet of pink
roses from his friends in Spring Is
land, a wreath of jasamine from his
Texas friends. and many others.
Mr.. Leavitt was born at Madelia,
on January 81, 1860. His parents
and brothers, and one sister, Isadora
A. Leavitt, who died in 1883, came
to Mankato in 1885. In 1886 the
family moved to Spring Island on a
| farm His brothers have left the
old home, and have resided in vari-
Gus places, but Seymour has always
staid at home and tenderly cared
for his parents. They lived to a
good old age; his mother was in
her ninetieth year when she died in
1911, and his father was eighty-five,
when he died in 1901.
| The farm was sold in 1912, and
Seymour moved to Houston, Texas,
where he made profitable investments
in the real estate business. In let
/ tiers to his brothers, he expressed
himself as being highly pleased with
the beautiful city of Houston, and
its delightful health-giving climate.
He also spoke in the highest terms
of the people there with whom he
became associated. The news of his
/ illness was surprise to his friends
and relatives here, as he had al
ways been a. strong, healthy man.
On receipt of telegram, T. F. Leav.
