GONE TO HER REWARD.
Mrs. Mary Dudley Baker al a Ripe
Old Age. Succumbs to the
Inevitable and Peace.
fully Meets Her
God.
LONG A RESPECTED RESIDENT OF COLUMBIA.

Last Tuesday afternoon about the
hour of 2 O'Clock, the spirit of the
subject of this writing went to God
who gave it.
1t was not generally known over
the community that Mrs. Baker was
seriously ILL., For the last several
years she had been stricken at times
and her friends and daughter, Miss
Sue Baker, believed up to the Sunday
before the end came that she would
recover. She at no time appeared to
be very strong, but she evidently had
wonderful vitality, looking after her
household affairs until she passed he
seventy. ninth birthday. j
She was daughter of William M.
and Mary Ann Gatewood Spencer, and
was born and reared in Greensburg
After the death of her mother she
lived several years in Lebanon her
father having removed to that city.
From this place she was sent to col
lege and when she completed her ed
ucation her father removed here and
in Columbia the major portion of her
life was spent. She was a woman of
the highest character and was intel
lectually strong, most entertaining
conversationalist. She was a woman
who read much, and was not only
versed in the history Of her own coun-
try, but she kept up with the histor-
ical events abroad.
Some years after her father came to
Columbia to live she was married to
W. E. Baker, who was prominent
citizen of this place, and to this union
one child was boru. Miss Sue, men
toned above, who holds trusted po
sition in the Bank Of Columbia
When you take into consideration
that the daughter is left alone, yor
conclude that this death is one of the
saddest, In point of association, thai
has been brought before the resident!
of Columbia for many years The
mother and daughter we're perfectly
devoted. and it is indeed heartrendiHS
to the daughter that she will nevel
again see the living form of hel
dear mother. Yet she should be con
soled, for the teachings of the goot
Book tell her that after awhile ther,
will be another meeting. Il shoult
also be coDsoliDg to the daughter b
know that this entire communit.
feels for her, and in it she will neve
lack for friends.
Mrs. Bette Atkins, who was a sis
ter of the deceased, is the last livinI
member of this Spencer family.
The deceased was devoted membe
of the Baptist Church, and was read
for her Masters call.
The funeral services we're conducte
at the home Wednesday afternoon a
o'clock, by Rev. Leslie ]. B.. Smith

by Rev. R V. Bennett, pastor of tn
