A south hound Metropolitan car struck him. breaking his right leg below the knee, lacerating his scalp and bruising him generally. He apparently did not hear the mntorman's whistle, or hearing it, supposed it to be an automobile and thought he \vas safe. He was almost at a. standstill before, and when he was struck, and probably felt that. as in the city, where he lived, either a street narnrautu could have avoided him. About two Vears before, on the hill opposite, \Vm. Chatterly was killed by a Metropolitan car. He. when avoid- ing an automobile stepped on the track and was killed. It is commonly said that only when the horse escapes from the stable is the door locked. The. cars attain such speed at the. cup of these bills that they are unable to stop till at the bottom. Not so with the roadway ()ll these two bills. Thoth recugnizml by all who pass over them as fraung with danger to the pedestrian. as veritable traps for the unwary nr wary alike, a danger that grows more menacing as traffic increases, still the authorities presum- ably wait tor more fatalities before taking steps of preventinn. Adequate prevention is simple indeed. There are no sidewalks on either hill; there were once but the railway removed them to lay its rails, prumisiug to re- place them. Arailway does not en- courage walking. much less pay tor sidewalks. There is not a foot of re« servrd walkng on the north. or steep- pmcf‘ Lnem.

He wasyborn on Lot ], Gun. 3, \Vhitchurch, Dec. 22, 1823, and lived and died in the old home. As a boy and young man he lived in stren- uous times, chopping, logging, driving oxen, even trips to Toronto were the common experiences of those days. That beautiful section of Country around Gormley at [ll‘lt time was largely Virgin l'orest.the clearings though small, however, weie constant- ly enlarging. Added to the hardships and struggles of pioneer life Was the unsettled state of political affairs euluininating in the "Canadian Re- bellion" in 1837. Mr. Baker then a boy of about 12 well remembered the alai m and excitement of that time and many interesting incidents he related might be told that are not in radar in this sketch. Mr. Baker was united in marriage to Cristena Heise when quite a young nian,tthough I am not iii- lorinedof the date, 1 am certain he make no mistake in his choice.) At the age of 24 he was soundly convei ted and united with the Brethren Church ('l‘unkers). About 42 years ago he was elected to the Ministry of said church. and in 1882 as Presiding Elder. A man of natural ability and a. deep thinker, he pro\ ed a capable preachei especially on doctrinal and theological lines. As a pastor he was kind, tend- er and sympathetic and his pleasant benevolent countenance was a ti ue re- flection of the peaceful soul within. To the younger preachers he was a real help .iiid inspiration. As a son With a father the writer labored with him in ministerial Work for many years, with never a discordant, note to jar on the harnicny of our lives. To the poor lie was as a. father, and his ineinorv remains to them a lasting benediction. Generous and hospitable. it may be truly said of his home, “The latch string hangs outside." As Pre- siding Elder he travelled ninch,\ isiting other churches in Pepin. Ohio, Mich. and Kansas, and attending Conferâ€" ences. \Vell known in Richmond Hill by the older people, he made his last visit there about six yeais ago, calling on his old friend the Late Matthew Teefy, who was warmly attached to Mr. Baker; old inemories were revived and past. scenes recalled by the two old pioneers. and when Mr. Baker spoke of this as their final meeting on earth and of the eternal realities they were so closely nearing, they both wept like little children together. Though Mr. Baker never took any active part in politics, unlike the ina- jority of his people his sympathies were with the Conservative party. Sir \Vm. Mulnck was one of his warmest friends and (quoting his words) in a letter to the writer since his death he says, “He was a splendid type of a. man. the veiy salt of the earth”, and his life was an eloquent teaching of nothing but good. His wife, one daughter and his three sons preceded him "over the river;" two daughters remain. one. in California and one at Gorinley. Mr. Baker was a great stif- ferer of late years with neuralgia and i the feebleness of extreme old age,i borne with (Ihristiau patience. 'l'hei funeral services on Tuesday. October 20, were largely attended. the church i at Gorinley being Well filled with i friends from far and near. The writer ‘ and Ross \V. Hoover of Toronto and i P.
