IN MEMORIAM
"As one who wraps the drapery of
his couch about him
And lies down to pleasant dreams,'
So passed away one whose beautiful
Christian life had endeared her to
acquaintances of but a few months
as well as those who had known her
Tor many yearn. Karly Sunday morn
ing Mrs. Olin S. Baker, about Whose
illness readers of The Herald have
learned through these columns, pass
ed peacefully away. The dawn of
day, occurring soon after her spirit
had taken Its flight, on the quiet
Sabbath morn, wns typical of the
dawn of a glorious eternal day
which broke upon her vision In the
heavenly home prepared for her.
Martha A. Canfield, wife of Rev.
O. 8. Baker, and only daughter of
Jeremiah and Jane Canfield, was
born in Folk county, Iowa, March
10, 1859, and departed this life
from her home In the Methodist. E
plscopal parsonage, Alliance, Ne
braska, at twenty minutes past
o'clock, Sunday morning, April L'l,
1912; age, 53 years, I month, and II
days.
On the 10th day of August, 1879,
she was united In marriage to OHn
S. Baker of Ft. Collins, Colo., who
survives her after a little over .12
years of married life. Five child
ren were born to this union, all of
whom were present at the last lov
ing service held for their mother in
the home. Mrs. Mabel B. I'endleton
of Spokane. Wash.; Mrs. Carrie B.
Buck of Wilniette, 111.; Miss Nellie
Baker of Billings, Mont.; Harry O.
Baker of Chicago; and Mary Baker
ait homo.
The deceased is also survived by
an aged mother In Iowa, and four
brothers, the oldest, Wallace Can
field, being present at the obse
quies. On account of ill health, Mrs. Bak
er went to Colorado in her young
womanhood, hoping to be restored
by the milder climate of that state.
While there she was married to Mr.
Baker, a former resident and ac
quaintance in her home community
in Iowa.
In 1887, with her husband, she
came to northwest Nebraska, locat
ing near Chadron. A year later
they entered the active work of the
ministry, and for nearly a quarter of
a century she was an earnest, act
ive and self-sacrificing helper In the
Itinerant ranks, enduring the hard-

ships of frontier life, sharing with
the people of the different charges
their Joys and sorrows, and the pri
rations of those early days, never
complaining of her lot but rejoicing
that she was counted worthy to toll
and suffer for her I;ord and Master,
. nd aring herself to the people with
whom she labored by her gentle and
s tnpathetic nature.
Twelve years later she removed
with Mr. Baker to Kvanslon, III.,
where she tolled tinweariedly for
four years by the side of her hus
band to secure for the family the
advantages of that educational cen
ter; then two years In Chin-ago and
four in Iowa, at Newton and Monte
zuma, near her old home.
But with the husband there was a
longing for the west, where so many
years were spent and all the child
ren were born. In the fall of 1909,
the family moved to Red Lodge,
Mont. Two years later they were
called to Alliance, coming in Sep
tember, 1911, after an absence of
twelve years, with husband and
daughter, to take up the work of the
ministry In the town where Mr. Bak
er was ordained, and in the home
conference where they had begun
the work of the ministry twenty
three years before; and there among
both old and new friends she laid
down life's burdens and went to
her reVard.
8hortly after arriving in Alliance
a physician was called to diagnose a
trouble that had only a few weeks
previously annoyed her. and suppos
ed to be only some rorm of rheu
matism, but what the difficulty was
did not appear clear. The unknown
disease spread so rapidly that by
December she could leave the house
only with difficulty. There' was in
tense suffering almost constantly. An
operation was deemed necessary to
determine the trouble. On Decem
ber lth she was taken to the .Meth
odist hospital at Omaha, where a
specialist's examination revealed the
dread disease, cancer.
When told by her husband she
could live but a few months, she on
ly smiled as with tearful eyes she
said, "I would love to live for your
sake and the children, but I am
ready to go. I will be watting for
you on the other side. Give my
love to those dear, good people of
Alliance that have been so kind to
us." The surgeon thought he
would rally and be around again,
but it spread more rapidly than ev
en he thought, leaving the hospit
hi, she returned with her daughter,
Carrie, to U'ilmette for a short vis
it, but she steadily den-lined and the
husband went to bring her home, ar
riving April it. just two months
from the time she had left. Though
very low, she recognized the mem
bers of the family and the few
friends who were permitted to call
and care for her. A week of con
stant suffering in the home and
life's weary wheels stood still.
Saturday evening she kissed each,
member of the family circle at her
bedside good bye and fell asleep, to
awaken Sunday morning a little at'
ter three in that city "whose in
habitants will nevermore say, 'I am
sick.' " where sin and suffering and
sorrow are unknown and where "Cod
shall wipe all tears away."
Mrs. Maker was a lovely and a
lovcable character, a reticent, mod
est, gentle, swift spirited woman,
beloved by all who knew her. Con
secrated to her home and church,
ever ready to help in time of seed,
naturally timid, she never faltered
on ucistions of right, but fearlessly
and conscientiously did her duty.
When only thirteen years old .she
was converted in a wonderful man
ner. I'nitinw with the Methodise
Church, she became at once an a-t-ie
worker in the Sunday ischool, a
work she never ceased to love and
do. IH-r faith in God increased
with the years and in moments of
consi imiMiess during her last lllnes
shone clear and bright. Her last
days were cljuded with suffering
but tlie laM hour when the pain sub
sided was full of peace And while
loved ones nalhered around her bed
side in the early morning, the in
visible, noiseless chariot swung low;
the celestial messenger came and
peaceful!. h.s closes a summer day,
the uentlc spirit of Ibis devoted wife
and lovinn mother passed from
earth's trials and ran up the shin
ing way. Precious in the sight of
the Uaid is the death of his saints."

grave, where is thy victory."

pressed by her before hf death
jr
Iwere observed In every detail. At
her request the daughters were
dressed in white. Her shroud was
the exact color of her wedding
dress. The profuse floral offerings
(bespoke the love and esteem In
which she was held. A floral plilow
was furnished by her children; a
wreath and many other flowers by
the members of the Bpworth League,
Sundny school and other friends. On

tendent A. R. Julian could not be

Itor of the Baptist church. The

whom Rev. Baker labored In the
union revival meetings recently held.
The hymns sung were "My JeBus,
as Thou Wilt," "Dead, Klndlv

grave. The scripture read by Rev.
Vitte was John 14:1-3, 18, 27, and
I Thess. 4:13-18. Rev. Godfrey read
