Obituary: Sherwood Valley News, June 23, 1927
After illness and suffering lasting
nearly four months following an operation for
appendicitis Glenn R. Baker died last Sunday morning in
the Good Samaritan hospital, in Portland. Mr. Baker had
suffered light attacks of appendicitis for more than
three years, and had been advised by his physician to
submit to an operation to relieve him of the trouble,
but did not consent to it until about four months ago.
When the operation was performed it was found that the
disease had made such progress and had become so
malignant that his recovery was very doubtful. Every
thing that surgical and medical skill would do availed
nothing, and after a brave fight for life Glenn R. Baker
passed away.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon in the
home in Hood View community on the farm where, thirty-seven
years ago, he was born. The funeral was attended by a
throng of his neighbors and friends, for "Chick" as he
was affectionately called by every one, was a general
favorite, and all who know him were his friends.
Services at the home were conducted by Rev. C. A.
Pickering, pastor of the Sherwood M. E. church. Services
at the grave in Pleasant hill cemetery, were conducted
by the American Legion of which Mr. Baker was a member
there, on a beautiful afternoon in June, underneath a
mound of roses, ? that is earthly of Glenn R. Baker was
laid at rest. Mr. Baker is survived by his wife, two
sons and one daughter; his mother, three sisters and
four brothers. |
