| 6721 | from newspaper obituary (posted on findagrave by Harold & Bonita Meier) One of the most shocking accidents and heart rending deaths that has ever occurred in this vicinity was the one which befell Elmer Baker, on Finn James farm, a few miles east of town, yesterday afternoon, ending in Elmer taking his own life. Mr. Baker and wife occupied one of the tenant houses on the James farm, and since Monday he had been engaged in digging a hold under a big rock, in order to bury it. He remarked to his wife, when he left the house about two o;clock yesterday afternoon, that he had a hold eight or nine feet deep almost directly under the stone, which appeared to be a big one. He was engaged in this dangerous work all alone, and when supper time came and he did not appear his wife expressed the fear to one of the hired men that something had happened to him. As time went on and it began to grow dark she became still more anxious and insisted that some one should go and see why he did not return, it being impossible for her to go on account of two small children. One of the hired men finally said he wound go up where Elmer was at work and see what the trouble was, if anything. On arriving at the scene he found that the rock, which weighed several ton, had moved form its place and in its fall had caught Elmer underneath it. He at once hastened back to the house and gave the alarm, and in a short time the whole neighborhood was aroused. It was impossible to roll the stone away, so it was found necessary to dig around and underneath the body in order to extricate it from the position in whit was found. Although the injured man seemed to be unconscious the workers were encouraged in their efforts to release him by the sound of his continued breathing. When at last he was taken from his living tomb, those engaged in the work of rescue, where horrified to discover that, in addition to his other apparent injuries, there was a great gash to his throat. Dr. Pattison was hastily summoned, and on arriving there he made an examination and found that Elmer's right leg was broken below the knee, that his right thigh was badly broken and crushed, where the rock had fallen on him, that the cords of the right arm were injured and torn somewhat from their fastenings., and that there was a gash five or six inches long across the throat, the windpipe being severed. The injured man only lived about 20 minutes after being taken out. Of course it well never be definitely known how all this occurred, nor just how long he laid there after accident took place, but the indications are that he lay for several hours with the great rock resting on the lower part of his body, and that after a time he had succeeded in getting his right arm out and, as he saw by the lengthening shadows that supper time had past and night was approaching, and no help came, and that he must die anyway, he had decided to end his intense sufferings with his own hand. So he had managed to get his knife out of his pocket, open the blade, which seems to have been a dull one, as it seems o have taken at least five or six strokes across the throat before the windpipe was severed. The event has caused great excitement in the neighborhood. The deceased was well known here. He leaves a wife and two small children. The funeral will take place tomorrow. | Baker, Elmer Jacob (I16386)

| 6729 | from newspaper obituary at findagrave.com Mabel Domenica Brocchini, 86, entered into rest on November 29, 2012 in Sacramento, California. She was born on October 19, 1926 to the late Joseph and Chincy Rose DeMarco in San Jose, California. Mabel was an only child but grew up surrounded by loving cousins all throughout the San Jose area. Mabel was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Aldo Brocchini. She leaves behind her three loving children; Marvin Brocchini and wife Barbara, Janet Thornton and husband Michael Lori Mackey and husband Lloyd, all of Manteca. She was also blessed with seven caring grandchildren; Lynda Brocchini, Julie Minton, Angela Silvera, Michael Thornton II, Shelly Simpson, Allison Mackey, and Aaron Mackey. Mabel also enjoyed the pleasure of her 10 great-grandchildren: Alyssa, Tim, Zackery, Jacob, Logan, Parker, Dylan, Sophie, Alexander and Julian. Mabel started her life in San Jose as Mabel Domenica DeMarco. There she stayed until her junior year in high school when her family moved to Manteca to gain employment in the canneries. Mabel attended Manteca High and in 1942, she met the man of her dreams, Aldo Brocchini. In 1947, they married and built their dream home that she would live in for the next 65 years. Together, Aldo and Mabel were ambitious and adventurous. In 1949, the newlyweds opened a little hardware store in Manteca, the "Hardware Mart". In partnership with Aldo's brother, Albert Brocchini and sister-in-law, Rina, the four of them put in many long hours together and established a thriving business. The store (later known as Ace Hardware) was an icon in Manteca for 51 years before closing in 2000. For years, Mabel could be found wrapping presents at the Hardware Mart during the Christmas season. In 1974, they spread their wings and opened Accent Carpets in Tracy, and then a few months later, they opened a second one in Manteca. Mabel didn't take life or their businesses for granted. She knew that she had a civic duty to her little town of Manteca, and then took that responsibility to a new level. The most notable title that Mabel held was that of Manteca Chamber's "Special Events Committee Chairman" for more than 25 years. That committee was a special task force that got things done. They put on community events such as the July 4th celebration, monthly industrial tours, Operation Christmas, the Miss Manteca Contest, and were the founders of the annual Manteca Christmas Parade. She put together prayer breakfasts, spear-headed efforts to widen the 120 Bypass, and implemented the Manteca Ag Tours in an effort to let people know about the agriculture in the area. Mabel "lived and breathed" Manteca. She held a key to the city, was named the "First Lady of the Year", is in the Manteca Hall of Fame, has been Grand Marshall in the Christmas Parade, and even has a Community Service Award named in her honor. For the past 20 years, Mabel was a charter member and volunteer for the Manteca Historical Society. In addition to being civic-minded, Mabel Brocchini was the most loving and kind woman that you could ever meet. She LOVED having friends and family in her home. Whether it was feeding 5 or 50 people, she was a fabulous cook. For more than 30 years, she hosted an annual Mother's Day BBQ that started out with 10 people and grew to more than 100. In those same years, she held a yearly Easter Egg hunt for family and friends of all ages. On any given night, you could find Mabel and Aldo sitting with friends and family playing Canasta around the kitchen table. Anything activity that involved her loved ones made her happy. Probably some of Mabel's favorite times of the year were spent in Aptos. Each summer for more than 30 years, she rented a home on the beach and welcomed her family and friends to share time with her. There, she took long walks on the beach, played Scrabble, roasted marshmallows, drank margaritas on the deck, and spent time laughing and making new memories. Her love for her family is a legacy that she will leave for all that knew her. P.L. Fry & Son Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Brocchini Family. A Rosary/Mass will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 11:30 A.M. at St. Anthony's Catholic Church - 505 East North Street in Manteca. Burial will be held private at St. John's Catholic Mausoleum in Escalon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Manteca Historical Society - P.O. Box 907 Manteca, CA. | Demarco, Mabel (I20373)

Came to Rochelle soon after the death of her husband which occurred in St. Charles, Ill., in 1867. She was the last of a family of six, two of whom John and George Loomis were at one time well-known business men of Rochelle. During a life of over 80 years she made no enemies. Of her it might be truly said “she was mild and lovely" and was revered and respected by all who knew her. A funeral was observed at her home on Sabbath afternoon, Sept. 13th, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, Rev. J.B. Fleming officiating. The Presbyterian choir rendering beautiful and appropriate music. The profusion of flowers presented by the ladies shown more than language can express their esteem of the deceased. Mrs. Baker was the mother of eight children, four of whom survived her. Mrs. Irving Ryther, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, Mrs. C.I. Blach, Kalamazoo, Michigan and Mrs. David Boyle and Mr. George Baldridge, of Rochelle, Helen and Daniel having died in recent years and two others in childhood. The day before her death she told one of her attendants that tomorrow was her last day and it was true as the sun went down she entered into rest, that rest which is unbroken by the ills of this fleeting life. A home has been broken up, a social tie severed, and many besides her own family will recall the sadness many pleasant hours spent at Mrs. Baker's. | Loomis, Emily (I16806)

| 6735 | from newspaper obituary posted on by Harold & Bonita Meier of findagrave.com Mrs. Alice Gregory, daughter of George W. and Sally Woodruff Baker, was born at Crown Point, New York, September 27, 1860, and died at the E.L. Clegg home at Fayette, Iowa on July 20, 1938, at the age of seventy-seven years, nine months and twenty-three days. Mrs. Gregory came of English stock that came to America in the early Colonial period. In the "History of the Baker Family" by Albert Clark Baker, we read that William Baker and Johanna Welch were marred in Old England in 1590, and that their son, William, and his family came to America and settled in Concord Mass. in 166. This is the beginning of the Baker history in America. "The coat of arms would lead one to place them as agriculturists in England, but like all that came to this country at that time, they learned at trade. Many of the Bakers were masons and shoemakers, some farmers, and some business men." Settling at Concord and remaining there for some generations, they certainly had a part in the early days of our country and their share in the responsibilities of the Revolutionary War. William, the fifth generation, was the son-in-law of Major Daniel Fletcher, and no doubt served in the army. The genealogy of Mrs. Gregory is given as follows: "Alice Leonora Baker 8 of George W. 7 of William 6 of William 5 of William 4 of Joseph 3 of William 2 of William 1, born Sept. 27, 1660." This makes her the eighth generation since the landing of the Bakers at Concord. When but a young girl of five, her parents moved to Iowa locating at Farmersburg in Clayton County. Two years later the family moved to a farm five and a half miles south east of Fayette Iowa. Here she grew to womanhood. Her father died when she was twelve. From that time she and her brother Frederick helped the mother farm the homestead until she went to learn dress-making in Fayette. She was continually engaged as dressmaker from that time until her marriage to William G. Gregory on February 19, 1894. After her marriage she and her husband settled on a farm two and a half miles east of Oelwein. In March 1900 they moved to Oelwein where she had since resided ever since. Since the death of her husband on December 5, 1913, she has been with her son Carl. An established custom with her was an annual visit of a few weeks with her brother, Frederick, and his sons and daughters near Fayette. On July 1 of this year she again went for her usual visit, which she always enjoyed very much, for it was a time with old friends and relatives. On Wednesday evening of this week her son Carl and family drove to the E.L. Clegg home where her mother was staying. They found her refreshed and happy. That evening she played with her grandson, who was always in her thoughts and her delight. As the family left she remarked that she would be home Saturday. That same night she became ill at about 10:30 o'clock. Carl was called at once and she passed to her reward at 11:55 p.m. She was a devoted member of the W.R.C. for over thirty years, but her greatest devotion was her home and her loved ones. She leaves to mourn her passing and revere her memory her son Carl, his wife, and their little son John Carl, with whom she has made her home; one step-son, Guy C. Gregory and daughter, Isabelle; a step-daughter, Mrs W.J. Davis and her daughters, Mrs. Merill Burke of San Francisco and Mrs. Blanch Storms of Oelwein; one brother, Frederick Baker of Fayette and many relatives and friends.

| 6741 | from newspaper obituary posted on findagrave.com On Sunday, September 18, 2005, at a few minutes after 8:00 in the evening, at the age of 91, Roy Franklin Baker met his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, face-to-face. He had suffered a stroke in early July. Frank was born August 8, 1914, in Wilson County, Texas, to James A. Baker and Floy E. Stroud Baker. The family subsequently moved to Coke County and later to San Angelo. Frank graduated in 1931 from San Angelo High School. In 1937, Frank met the love of his life, Eulene Craddock. They were married in 1938 in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Craddock of Strawn, Texas. After living in several towns in the Permian Basin during the early years of the oil industry in the 1930's, Frank and Eulene moved to Odessa in 1940 and lived here for the rest of their lives. Two children were born of their marriage, Linda and Jimmy. James J. (Jim) Baker passed away in 1989 at the age of 41. Frank and Eulene had an exemplary and wonderful marriage that lasted more than 63 years, until her death in February 2002. They are now joyfully reunited, along with their son Jimmy and their other loved ones who have preceded them into Heaven. Frank's career was always involved with sales and pertaining to the oil industry, both inside sales and sales in the field. He was a conscientious and honest businessman and had many customers for the long duration of his career. Frank was a man of honor, courage, and integrity in all things. He was a wonderful son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He also served as a ?second dad? to numerous nieces and nephews whose own fathers had passed away. His genuine interest and concern for his family and friends, as well as his humor and his great dry wit, will be missed by all who knew him. Frank and Eulene were active in the community for many years. They participated in church work at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, as well as working happily side-by-side in Meals on Wheels. Frank was an astute businessman who stayed aware of current events and particularly those of a financial nature. He had years of happy times with his coffee-drinking buddies, discussing daily happenings in the world, in sports, and especially in the stock market. He was a man of few words, and we listened and learned when he spoke. Frank was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Eulene; his cherished son, Jimmy; and two brothers, James Afton (Slick) Baker of San Angelo and Raymond R. Baker of Houston.

| 6745 | from Newspaper Obituary, 15 Jul 1919 INJURIES ARE FATAL Lambert L. Woods Passes Away Last Evening - Was Hurt Sunday Morning. RESPECTED FARMER VICTIM OF ACCIDENT Was Struck Down in Some Unexpected Manner While Operating Gasoline Engine It is with a keen feeling of sorrow that we record the sudden death last night of Lambert L. Woods, resulting from an accident which occurred early Sunday. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the home, just west of the city limits on the River to River Road. The Elks will have charge of the services at the grave. Special music will be rendered by the Elks' Quartet. The injuries which caused death were inflicted in some unknown manner by the gasoline engine on Mr. Woods' farm. The most serious was a severe fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. There was another puncture fracture near the top of the head on the left side, the lower jaw was badly broken and several ribs on the left side were fractured, one or more of them puncturing the lung. The cause of the accident will never be explained. Mr. Woods was alone at the time and never regained consciousness. His sister, Miss Almeda Woods, was with him when he started the engine in the little engine house. He was operating his cream separator. She stepped out of the engine house and had not been away from her brother's side two minutes when she heard the crash. Rushing back into the shed, she found Lambert lying unconscious in a comer, where he had evidently been thrown violently. Evidently in some way he had come into contact with the revolving fly wheel. The writer has known Mr. Woods from boyhood. He was a bright, strong, promising boy and when he entered college he proved a thorough student and careful scholar, especially along scientific lines. He graduated in 1890, one of Professor Joseph Torrey's best students, with a broad knowledge of chemistry and electricity. He soon after took a position as chemist with the Griffin Steel and Foundry Co. in Chicago and afterwards a similar position as expert chemist with the Colorado Steel and Iron Co. of Pueblo. Both these positions he held with credit and success, coming back to Grinnell at the time of his father's death to manage the home place and be with his mother and sisters. At home he has been a loving son and brother and nobly gave up his life's ambition to be with the mother and sisters -whom he loved so much. Mr. Woods was well known as a long time resident of this community, respected and honored by all who knew him, and universal regret is expressed at his death. He was a member of the Order of Elks and at his next birthday would have been 52 years of age | Woods, Lambert L (I4195)

| 6746 | from Newspaper Obituary, 17 Apr 1894 Last Saturday afternoon, Mr. Abner Woods, living just west of the city, died quite suddenly from heart failure. Mr. Woods had been in poor health nearly all winter, but such an end was not expected and came with a sad shock to a large circle of friends. Mr. Woods was born in Mercer Co., Pa., in 1824, and thus was 70 years old at the time of his death. In 1852 he was united in marriage with the lady who survives him and mourne his sudden death. In March, 1964, with his family, he came to Paweshiek and settled in Chester twp., where for thirteen years, he was known as a willing worker in every good cause. In the sping of 1877 Mr. Woods moved to his late home near Grinnell, which he fitted up until it was one of the handsomest rural homes in this vacinity. The funeral was held at the house yesterday afternoon conducted by the Rev. E.M. Vittum, in charge of Mr. W.O. Willard, for years a warm family friend. A large company of neighbors followed the body to Hazelwood, in this way silently testifying to their recognition of an upright life that had passed away, for Mr. Woods was a man of the highest integrity, one whose word was never questioned, and who did to others as he would have done them do to him. The community loses one of its citizens, and his family mourn a loving husband and father. A wife, two sons and four daughters survive him. Among the funeral decorations was a beautiful floral gift of the ladies of the Bible class of the Congregational church, the ladies wishing in a appropriate way to express sympathy for friends and members of the class. | Woods, Abner (I1482)

| 6748 | from newspapers obituary posted on findagrave.com MRS. JAMES PREWITT Mrs. James Prewitt, perhaps the oldest citizen in Llano, died at her home here Sunday morning at seven o;clock after an illness of some duration. Mrs. Prewitt's maiden name was Miss Elizabeth Ann Tucker. She was born in South Carolina on March 3, 1839 and was ninety-four years of age at the time of her death. She was a grown woman at the time of the war between the States and experienced the great hardships along with others of her native State, and Alabama, where the family moved before the war. Mrs. Prewitt well remembered the days of reconstruction and all the trials which faced the Southern people at that time. In her childhood, she moved with the family to Alabama, where at the age of twelve she united with the Methodist church and for more than four score years was a consecrated, christian worker, always loyal to her church and faithful until death came to remove that pure white spirit to the father's home. At the age of 14, she was married to D.J. Gartman, on July 24, 1853. To this union three children were born. Her husband was killed in the Civil War while serving with the Confederate army, his death occurring on May 19, 1864. On September 10, 1865 she was married to James Prewitt and to this union seven children were born, three of whom are living. They are Mrs. John Pavey and W.R. Prewitt of Llano and Mrs. Jim Biddy of Lampasas. Other near relatives surviving are 39 grand children and 101 great grand children., and 15 great, great grandchildren. Mrs and Mrs. Prewitt moved to Comanche in 1870, where the husband died on November 15, 1883. Some eleven years later she was married to Bill Chism of DeLeon. She was, however, knows to her friends at Mrs. Prewitt. In 1900 she came to Llano county where she has since lived. The funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Jno. N. McKay Sunday afternoon at six o'clock, after which interment was made in the city cemetery under the supervision of Miles Buttery. Thus the soul of another landmark has passed on into the great beyond and friends grieve when they think of Mrs. Prewitt as being with us no more. The children and other relatives have the deepest sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow. | Tucker, Elizabeth Ann (I72)
