SLEEPS BENEATH
PALL OF FLOWERS
____

Mrs. Henry Baker is Tenderly Laid
to Rest Yesterday Morning -- Affec-
tionate Tributes
____

They laid the choicest blossoms of the springtide, many of them jeweled with tears of love, upon the last resting place of Mrs. Henry Baker, a much beloved woman, yesterday morning. The floral tributes of an affection that was real for her whose mortal remains were consigned to the tomb in Santa Rosa cemetery yesterday.

The funeral of the deceased took place from Moke's chapel and there was a large gathering of relatives and friends to pay their last token of respect to one who merited the highest esteem. The casket reposed before a floral background that towered high. Seldom has there been a more radiant picture than that made by the flowers on this occasion. Among the notable gifts of a public nature were those sent by Santa Rosa Parlor of Native Sons, and Oakland Rebekah lodge. Mrs. Baker being a member of the latter organization. Then there were scores of other floral remembrances sent by relatives and friends here and elsewhere.

The Rev. Peter Colvin was the officiating minister and after the Scripture lesson he offered a fervent invocation in which he committed the bereaved family to the care and consolation of the Heavenly Father.

Mrs. A. T. Woodward sang very effectively "Lead, Kindly Light," Mrs. Joe P. Berry playing the accompaniment.

The officiating minister spoke feelingly of the passing of Mrs. Baker and his illusion to the splendid traits of character that marked her life embodied the affectionate sentiments that filled every heart in the large congregation present.

Mrs. Woodward gave a beautiful rendition of "Face to Face" and this concluded the service. The cortege was a long one and at the family plot in the cemetery the committal prayers were said by the minister and the deceased was left at rest. In sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.

The pallbearers were old-time friends: Charles F. Rohrer, S. L. Parks, E. E. Morrow, Frank Steele, Hiram L. Tripp and Walter S. Davis.
