Baker - At Tremont, Lower Aylesford, Kings County, Nova Scotia, January 26th, of spinal disease, Reuben R. Baker, age 52. He leaves a sorrowing companion, two sons and four daughters to mourn their loss. His end was peace. Bro. Baker was brought to the Saviour under the faithful ministry of the late Dr. Tupper, and was baptized into the fellowship of the Lower Aylesford church April 6, 1856, and has adorned his profession by an orderly walk and godly conversation before the world. His views of christian doctrine were deep and well based. His affliction came upon him four years ago, and since that time till the hour of his departure he suffered almost incessantly, but never murmured. The closing scene was very affecting; those who witnessed it saw what sustaining grace will do for the faithful in the hour and article of death. His remains were interred on Sabbath, January 30th and an appropriate discourse preached by the pastor of the church from Amos iv. xii. – “Prepare to meet thy God.”
