Egbert A. Baker, whose death was recorded in our last issue was born in the town of Lawrence, Otsego county [NY], August 24, 1837. Died June 23, 1908, being in his 70th year. In the early fifties he moved to this town and located between Belden and Sanitaria Springs [Broome Co., NY]. He was a hard working, industrious and frugal farmer and accumulated a small fortune and a pleasant home. He resided on his farm until about eight years ago, when he moved to Harpursville and continued in the insurance business which he had taken up in latter years. Mr. Baker was twice married. The first being to Miss Elizabeth Holcomb, to whom was born two children, a boy and girl; both dying while quite young. His second marriage was to Miss Ellen Manville, who survives him. He became very popular in our town and although a Democrat was for six successive terms elected Road Commissioner in this, a strong Republican town, after which he was elected Supervisor. Deceased was a member of Afton Lodge, No. 360, F&A.M., and Vallonia Chapter, No. 80 R.A.M., Malta Commandery and Binghamton Consistery, having attained to the 32nd degrees in Masonry. The funeral, which was held Friday, June 26, was one of the largest ever held in our village, about forty Masons being in attendance. There was a short service at the house conducted by Rev. C.A. Hubbell, after which the remains were taken to St. Luke's church under escort of a delegation from Malta Commandery. The services at the church was by the Rector Rev. G.H.Kirkland, who used the beautiful Episcopal burial service interspersed by singing by the choir. After the services at the church the remains were taken to New Ohio cemetery fro interment under directions of the Masonic fraternity. It was the writer's good fortune to have known him long and well, and we only knew him to esteem him more highly as the years passed by. Today we miss his kindly smile and friendly greeting; we long in vain to hear the ring of his jovial laughter and to feel again his genial presence. He was a devoted husband, and to his friends he was the soul of fellowship. But the greatest of all was he was a man. And as a man it is that those who knew him best loved to comtemplate him. He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow men, who lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his Master. His cheerful, helpful life; his devotion to his wife and kindness to everybody will long linger as a fragrant memory in the home which his presence brightened and which death has now darkened. Though he is gone his record has been made and will remain with us as a lasting treasure. His life was gentle, but like the still waters, it was deep. In his heart of heart he carried those he loved, and his hand was never weary, his step never failed in caring for and ministering to those who were in any way dependent upon him.
