Notes

  • Obituary: Baker - On Jan. 17th, at his home in Tremont, N.S., A. Hilborn Baker, youngest son of the late Reuben Baker, passed away after a year's illness. Bro. Baker was in his twenty-third year, a young man of sterling character, possessing qualities destined to make him a useful man had his life been spared. Shortly after his baptism into the fellowship of the Tremont church in May, '93, Bro. Baker experienced a call to the ministry. The way for his preparation soon opened, and in the fall of '97 he went to the Academy at Wolfville where he spent two years, entering college with the class of '02 but was compelled to leave in the middle of his junior year. While in college he was highly esteemed by both faculty and students, being a diligent and pains-taking student. He was a faithful worker in the College Y.M.C.A. and took a deep interest in the student's volunteer work. His funeral on the 21st was very largely attended. Pastor Lewis of Aylesford preached to a crowded house from Phil. 1:2. A cross of handsome roses and carnations was laid on the casket on behalf of his class as a token of their esteem together with a letter expressing their sympathy to the bereaved mother and other members of the family. Messenger and Visitor February 12,1902
