DEATH OF JOHN W BAKER John W Baker, one of our energetic and popular young contractors and builders, met with a accident last Tues afternoon. He was on a scaffold at the building which he and his father, Contractor H. W. Baker are erecting for R. G. Richardson, seeing about some work, when the scaffold gave way, throwing him to the ground, a distance of at least thirty feet. He fell on his back and after striking the ground was unable to move, although retaining consciousness. His father came near going down with the scaffold also. He was on it and fell, it gave way, but was able to grab hold of a window, which he got into just in time to save himself. As soon as Mr. Baker and the hands could get to Johnny they picked him up and finding that he was badly hurt, took him to the Hoffman Hospital. An examination showed that his back was broken and that he was paralyzed from the shoulders down. He lingered till about six o'clock Thursday evening, Aug 3, 1905, when he peacefully passed away. He was conscious almost to the last. The deceased was 27 years of age and was the only son of Mr and Mr Henry W Baker. He spent all his life in Keyser and enjoyed the esteem and respect of every one. He was a model young man, a devoted husband, son and brother, a sincere friend and honorable and upright young man in every respect. His sad death is a shock to his loved ones and many friends. He was not a member of any church, but has been deeply concerned for some time about his spiritual condition and doubtless made his peace and election sure before passing to the great beyond. He was a Past chancellor of Olive Branch Lodge, No 25 K of P, and was an honored member of the order at the time of his death being the Master of the Work. About two years ago, he united in marriage with Miss Gertrude Taylor, of Purgitsville, who survives him, together with father and mother and two sisters, Mrs. Harry L Welch, and Miss Elsie Baker.
