Mrs. Ethel Baker On Saturday, Nov. 7th, the death angel took from us the sweet life of Mrs. Percie Baker, formerly Miss Ethel Whorter. She was a member of the Methodist church at Jackson Chapel. Her life was a blessing to her husband and a host of friends. She was married about three and a half years ago. She was ill only a few days, leaving her husband very ill at Spring Garden, Ala., unable to go to her funeral. She was laid to rest in Jackson Chapel cemetery, Services being held by Rev. J. H. Hardy, of Cave Spring. My heart is with my brother, who now lies helpless with the influenza. Just 6 months and 9 days ago, my darling wife, Annie Lou, was taken from me. We suffer many hardships; may God help us to live a better life and some day give us a home where sorrow comes no more. -Jay Baker, Selma, Ala. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, December 19, 1918)
