ELLEN READY GRAHAM BAKER, 19 Feb 1834 - 10 May 1914

   Mrs. Ellen Baker was born at Lorane, Penn., Feb. 19, 1834, 
and departed this life at her home at Clear Lake, Ind., May 
10, 1914, aged 75 years, 2 months and 21 days.  Mrs. Baker 
had been a patient sufferer during her last sickness in which 
she endured untold agonies.  She had been steadily failing 
since the accident a year ago in which her son, Edward 
Graham, of Clear Lake, was killed instantly by his own gun 
while hunting, and only four months ago she laid another son, 
Albert Ready, to rest, and the strain was too much for her in 
her aged condition.
   Mrs. Baker was a woman who made hosts of friends wherever 
she went, which was silently symbolized by the beautiful 
floral offerings.  She will be greatly missed by her friends 
and neighbors.
   She leaves to mourn her death an only daughter, Mrs. P. M. 
Shook, of Camden; James Ready, of Angola, and Samuel Ready, 
of Toledo, Ohio; Will Ready, of Clear Lake, seven 
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
   Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon, May 12, 
at Clear Lake church, Rev. Clark, of Camden, officiating, and 
the remains were laid to rest in Camden cemetery by the side 
of her son.
