| 5570 | from "The Waukausha Freeman", 16 Dec 1880 On Friday morning, the 3d inst., Mrs. Mary Louise Pratt, eldest daughter of A. E. Perkins, Esq., of Mukwonago, and wife of Jos. A. Pratt, of that place, expired at the Jones House, Burlington, at the early age of 35, a victim of the dreadful destroyer - consumption. Mrs. Pratt was on her way from the far west, where she had spent some months with her husband in the vain hope of at least a partial restoration to health. A few weeks before her death her mother was telegraphed for, and answered the summons in person, and her father went on a few days later, so that she was surrounded by loving hands and hearts in her last illness. But in the last week of her life there sprang up within her an irrepressible longing to see her old home once more, and so she was tenderly brought back, and the little party reached Burlington, Racine County, on Tuesday evening. Tired as she was, the eighteen miles that intervened between her and the home of her childhood seemed an impossible journey, and she stopped with her friends, to rest. She never afterwards rallied sufficiently to undertake the remainder of the journey, and on Friday morning she was called away to her eternal home. The writer of this memorial was acquainted with Mrs. Pratt in her girlhood, and knew her as one of the most charming and brilliant of young ladies, a decade and a half ago. Although independent in thought and action, she was devoted in her affection and solicitude for her friends, and those who knew her best were those who loved her most. In her school studies she was energetic and untiring, and for their better prosecution attended school in Boston, and afterwards at Carroll College and at the Rockford Seminary. Her school work at the latter place brought on a severe illness which is thought to have been the foundation of the disease which finally proved fatal. In September, 1870, she was married to Mr. Joseph A. Pratt, of Mukwonago, and with a loving husband and a happy home near the parents whom she idolized, her lot in life seemed enviable, indeed. After the birth of her little daughter, Gracie, in 1874, however, her health gradually failed, and a year ago it was seen that her life was in imminent danger. Since then every means known has been tried to restore her, but in vain. As a last resort, on the 23d of September last, her husband took her to Platte Valley, Nebraska, but the change seemed for the better only for a few weeks, and when she became certain that her end was near she felt anxious to come home to die. Thus a precious life has faded away before reaching its prime. The loss is felt beyond the family circle, and although the grief-stricken parents and husband, the brothers and sisters, as well as the orphaned little girl of six years old, will receive the tender sympathy of all in their great loss, that loss will be felt to extend to the society itself, among which she moved, and she will be long and lovingly missed there.

| 5576 | from "The Waxahachie Daily Light", 20 Aug 1904 (newspapers.com) Mr. J. T. Robinson of this city learned Saturday that his brother, Rev. W. D. Robinson, who had been convicted of murder and was serving a term of ten years in the penitentiary, had been pardoned by Governor Lanham. Mr. Robinson has worked diligently since his brother's conviction in 1901 to secure his pardon, and when he received the news that Governor Lanham had ordered him set at liberty, he was almost overcome with joy. The Killing for which Rev. Robinson was convicted, took place in Bandera County, March 1, 1900. Robinson was one of the best-known Methodist preachers in Southwest Texas, and during the Spanish-American war was chaplain of the Fourth Texas regiment. After that regiment was mustered out of service, Rev. Robinson went to Bandera County and resumed his ministerial duties. His daughter secured a school in the neighborhood and while teaching she claimed that her character was assailed by W. E. Jones, ex-sheriff of the county and it one time a justice of the peace. The young lady reported the matter to her family, and at the first meeting of the two men Jones was shot and killed. After investigating the matter the grand jury refused to return an indictment against Robinson. He plead with the grand jury to indict him in order to that the case might be disposed of, and it was at his urgent request that he was finally indicted. The district judge upon his own motion transferred the case to Kerr county, and upon trial their Robinson was found guilty and sentenced to serve ten years in the penitentiary. The petition for the convicted man's pardon included letters from many Methodist preachers throughout the state and numerous other persons. | Jones, William Early (I25414)

| 5592 | from "The Worcester Daily Spy", 16 Dec 1895 (genealogybank.com) The principal topic of conversation on the streets, Sunday, was the sad drowning accident at North pond, Saturday evening, in which William J. Baker, a son of Charles Baker, president of the Charles Baker Lumber Company, lost his life. The body of the unfortunate young man, which was taken from the water shortly after midnight, Sunday morning, and removed to his parents' home at the corner of Salisbury street and Park avenue, was viewed Sunday by Medical Examiner F.H. Baker, who decided that the cause of the death was accidental drowning. The funeral will take place from the family residence at 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon. A meeting of the Lincoln Guild of Central Church was held in the library at the close of the morning service, to take action on the death of Mr. Baker, who was a member of the society, a committee consisting of Rev. E.M. Chapman, David M. Earle, Jr., Roswell T. Hapgood and Earnest Smith, was appointed to purchase a floral tribute in represent the guild at the funeral. A meeting of the freshman class at Worcester Polytechnic Institute will be held this noon, when a delegation will be selected to attend the funeral. Miss Estelle Potter, who, as stated in the Sunday Spy, was in the icy water fully five minutes before she was rescued, spend Saturday night at ex-Alderman W.C. Jewett's home, where she was taken after being rescued from the water. She was removed to her home on Salisbury Street, Sunday morning. She is now confined to her bed as a result of the shock, but is resting as comfortably as can be expected. So far as her physical condition is concerned, she has entirely recovered. It is not until Sunday morning that she was told of the sad fate that had befallen her companion. It was not carelessness nor foolhardiness on the part of the young couple that caused the accident. The hole in the ice into which they skated had formed during the last two days, for Thursday night when a number of the young people of Salisbury street went out there, the pond was entirely frozen over and perfectly safe. It was not known by those most familiar with the pain that there was any current or spring in that part that should have kept the water open. In the darkness of the night the water looked almost the same as the ice about it, and even the young man who rescued Miss Potter nearly skated into the water in encircling the hole to reach her. It is surprising that an accident had not occurred earlier in the evening for there were several people who, unaware of any treacherous place, it's skated across the pond in almost the very spot of the sad accident. | Baker, William James (I15791)

| 5593 | from "The Worcester Daily Spy", 19 Sep 1896 (genealogybank.com) Charles Baker, president and treasurer of the Charles Baker Company, lumber dealers and manufacturers of doors, sashes and builders' finish, died Friday morning about 7 o'clock, age 68 years, at his residence, corner of Salisbury Street and Park Avenue, of heart failure, after several weeks illness. His health began to fail six or seven weeks ago, but his condition was not deemed to be critical until about three weeks ago, when he made his last visit to his place of business on Foster Street. Mr. Baker was one of the best known and most enterprising businessman of Worcester, shown in the face of many obstacles and repeated disasters by fire, which would have discouraged most men. He was born in Phillipston, April 4, 1828, his father, James Baker, being a farmer in moderate circumstances. His ancestors on his mother's side were of Worcester parentage for several generations, his mother being a daughter of William Golding, who built the old house on Mechanic street which stood on the site purchased by the city on which to build the new fire department headquarters. His grandmother Lucretia (Bigelow) Golding, was daughter of David Bigelow, brother of Col. Timothy Bigelow of revolutionary fame. Starting as a poor farmer boy in his native town, working during the summer and attending district school in the winter, Mr. Baker in his youth had an ambition to obtain further education, and coming to Worcester he became a student at Worcester Academy, working his way to pay his expenses, at various kinds of labor outside of school hours. In this way he fitted himself for Amherst College. Owing to failing eyesight, however, he was obligated soon to abandon his college studies. After traveling for a while in the west as a book agent, he returned to Massachusetts in 1855, and decided to locate in Worcester. In company with his brother, William J. Baker, he started a small box factory at the south end, but soon afterwards they remove to a small shop which stood on the site of the company's present lumber yard on Foster street. This business rapidly increased, and there was soon added to box making the manufacturer of doors, sashes, and blinds, and all kinds of builders' finish, with the sale of finish lumber of all kinds, making this one of the largest establishments of the kind in this section of the state. The loss of $100,000 by the disastrous fire of September, 1891, did not at all crippled the energies of this enterprising company, notwithstanding it was soon followed by another great fire in the winter of 1892-3. Neither of these disasters nor others which the Bakers suffers, impaired their successful business efforts. Mr. Baker was a member of Montacute Lodge of Free Masons, and was identified with the Board of Trade and Builders' Exchange. He married, Sept. 1, 1863, Elutheria, daughter of Tilly S. And Susan (Harr) Manley of Hardwick, and she survives him, with a son, Chas. Baker, Jr., and three daughters. Another son, William J., lost his life by drowning in North Pond, last winter. | Baker, Charles (I15777)
