WATSON: In West Eaton [Madison Co. NY], June 24, Mrs. Frankie A. Watson, wife of B.E. Watson, aged 26 years, 8 months and 12 days.
Angel music from heavenly spheres, / Sounds clearer now to our earthly ears, / The rolling river not half so wide / Since our darling crossed to the other side.
Loving her so, we can only wait, / Longing to enter the pearly gate / For life has weary nights and weary days; / We shiver a little and softly pray.
Only praying that when we go, / That strange, mysterious life to know, / She may meet us first on the heavenly shore, / With the bright young face we knew of yore.
The years go on in toil and strife / We grow farther away from the purer life; / Dusted with toil, tainted with sin, / The golden gates we may not go in.

BAKER: In Oneida [Madison Co. NY] at the residence of her son, R.M. Baker, on Wednesday, July 3, of consumption, Sophia [Baker] wife of the late Mattison Baker, formerly of Utica [Oneida Co. NY] and mother of the late W.H. Baker of Oneida, aged 6 3 years.
The death of Wm. H. Baker has been recently announced in these columns. To that announcement we Now have to add the death of Mrs. Sophia Baker, the mother of Mr. Baker. Her death which occurred on the 3d of July, at the residence of her son. R.M. Baker, of Oneida, was not unexpected, as she had been sick for some time. A character so pure and good, demands a passing tribute. She was born at Morrisville [Madison Co. NY] in the year 1808 and was the daughter of Nicholas and Sibel Byer. She was converted to the Christian faith and life at the age of 14, living in humble dependence on Christ for almost 50 years. Nearly twenty years of her life were passed in Utica and for about seven years she was a resident of Hamilton [Madison Co. NY] attaining a perfectness of character most pleasing to behold. She was a member of the M.E. Church through all the period of her religious life, and for many years was the wife of Mattison Baker, of that church, till his death in 1849. With her faith and piety, and natural endowments, she was well fitted to meet the cares of her family, and the responsibilities of her calling. Of great sweetness of disposition, of remarkable patience, and of steady religious devotion, she could not fail to impress her friends with her excellence. Her children, especially, could not but know and feel her unspeakable worth, hence, "they rise up to call her blessed," and confess, with gratitude, the influence of her saintly example in shaping their religious convictions and experience. The influence of father and mother, together, has gone with some of them down to the grave, imparting a holy confidence and peace, and it still remains as a precious legacy to those that survive. How much better and brighter the world is for such a life and such a character? How many triumphs of the Christian religion are due to such influences as these? And who would not wish to be related to such a faith and calling and reap the fruits of that higher life to which the Christian faith leads us. "For they that overcome shall inherit all things." There can be no sincerer wish of the writer of this, than that all the relatives of Mrs. Baker, who so affectionately cherish her memory may partake of her Christian experience while living and share her blessedness when they go hence. R.C. Fox.
