| Notes THE PARIS MORNING NEWS, Wednesday, March 31, 1920: “F. M. Baker, a well known farmer who lived below Howland near Sulphur bottom, died Monday evening while he was on his way home from Paris. He was brought to St. Joseph’s Infirmary about three weeks ago seriously ill with kidney trouble, although, his condition improved he was still sick when he started to return home. He became homesick, however, and it was his decision that he be carried back. He was taken to Howland on the train and was met there with a conveyance. He died on the road while being carried from Howland to the farm. He was about sixty-five years old and had lived in Lamar County a long time. Before coming here he lived in Temple and was city marshal of that town for some time. He served as local deputy sheriff at Howland about twenty years and was liked by his acquaintances. He had the name of being a good farmer. At the time of his death, he was manager of T. W. Walton’s farm and had been living in that capacity several years. While living on the farm he cleared considerable timber land. He was married twice and is survived by his second wife and several children. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Woodman camp at Howland and was a Mason. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the McGlasson cemetery.” Transcribed by Debra Cornett Usry.
