Death of Eben Baker. 
The death of Eben Baker, which 
occurred Tuesday morning about 6.30, 
resulting from injuries received by fall- 
ing from the roof of the building upon 
which he was working, has cast a gloom 
over theentire community. Nodeath 
in the town in recent years has come 
as such a shock to the people of Man- 
chester as has that of Mr. Baker. 
Shortly before noon on Friday of 
last week, as reported exclusively in 
last week’s BREEZE, as Mr. Baker and 
Avon Stoddard were shingling the 
roof of the new house being erected 
on Lincoln street for W. W. Soulis, 
the staging gave way and both men 
were thrown to the ground, Mr. Baker 
receiving severe injuries about the 
body, and having both hip bones 
broken. 
Though taken at once to his home 
in the ambulance and medical assist- 
ance called, and though every thing 
possible was done for him, Mr. Baker 
passed away at 6.30 Tuesday morning, 
death resulting from peritonitis, due to 
injury to the bowels. 
Sunday, two specialists from Boston 
Drs. McIntire and Bottomly, were 
sent for and they arrived that night on 
the 7.18 train with their instruments, 
ready to perform an operation, but 
upon arriving at the bedside, they re- 
alized that it was too late to do any- 
thing to save Mr. Baker's life. 
Mr. Baker was born in Manchester, 
March 4, 1867 and was the son of the 
late John Baker and Nancy A. (Mer- 
rill) Baker. He has lived in Manches- 
ter from his boyhood and was well- 
known and _ universally liked and 
respected by all who knew him.

the deep sympathy of the entire com- 
munity in their great loss.

large number of the relatives and

Rev. D. H. Lamson and Rev. E. H. 
Brewster of the Baptist church. At 
the grave, the impressive service of 
the Red Men was given, conducted by 
the prophet, Allen S. Peabody, and 
afterwards the Carpenters’ Union con- 
ducted a short service.

Union. 
There were many beautiful floral 
tokens of esteem from the relatives 
and friends of the deceased and bou- 
quets of roses, carnations, asters, lilies 
and a great variety of flowers testified 
to the place that Mr. Baker had occu- 
pied in the hearts of his friends. 
Among the many floral pieces were 
beautiful pillows from both the Car- 
penters’ Union and the Red Men, and 
a wreath from the four carpenters 
who were working with Mr. Baker 
when the accident occurred.
