      Letter from New York / New York, Jun 21, 1873
      TEXANS IN THE METROPOLIS
      Wm. R. Baker, Esq., of Houston, has been here for some time, having been summoned by his wife and son-in-law, Capt. Turner, on the sad occasion of the demise of Mrs. Turner.
    • from "The Galveston Daily News", 6 Mar 1874
      Interment of Mrs. Turner - Capt. E.T. Turner returned from the North on Tuesday with the remains of his beloved wife, nee Lucy Baker, whose untimely death was reported several weeks ago. The remains of the amiable and universally respected lady were met at the depot by numerous friends of the family, and escorted to the residence of her father, Wm. R. Baker, Esq., by one of the largest funeral corteges ever seen in Houston. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Zealy, of the Baptist Church. By direction of the sorrowing mother of the deceased, an elegant tomb had been erected in the garden, where the resting place of her idolized daughter will always be in view. The grounds were beautifully decorated with the most exquisite flowers and wreaths of immortelles, and everything was done that could be to testify grief for the death or respect for the memory of the dear departed.
