Death has once more entered our village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] and removed another of its older inhabitants.  Abraham Baker, died at midnight, on Monday last at the age of seventy-seven years.  for several months past he had been in feeble health, and for the last few weeks his malady had assumed an acute form that caused him intense suffering.  Mr. Baker was among the early members of the Episcopal church, and for several years was a member of the vestry.  He was also one of the charter members of the Masonic lodge, now in a flourishing condition here, and was warmly attached to the fraternity, from whom he received many kind offices during his last illness.
