- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 27, 1854 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - On the 19th inst., at her residence in this village, Mrs. Sybil S., wife of Thomas C. Baker, aged 50 years. Mrs. Baker has left a circle of friends who will long mourn her loss. For many years a member of the Baptist Church in this village, she adorned the doctrine she professed and eminently illustrated the teaching of her Master, "Blessed are the pure in heart." Her loss in the family circle, of which she was the center, and in society of which she was an ornament can only be realized by those who were nurtured by her care, consoled by her counsel, cheered by her conversation, profited by her example. Her loss is the greatest to those who know her best. Her husband, her children, will seek in vain for so good a councilor so correct a guide. Her aged mother mourns the loss of a dutiful, affectionate and only child, who in the ordinary course of nature instead of the welcoming should be the welcomed to the land of rest. Though for her family time may soothe the first gushings of grief, it will only the more exhibit how great, how irreparable their loss.
