Mr. W. H. Baker.

The members of the Plymouth Branch regret to announce the sad death of Br. William Hiram Baker, who was murdered at the Cape of Good Hope, May 12th, 1877, at the age of 40 years. Our deceased brother joined the Portsmouth Branch 1865, and became a member a short time of the Bristol Branch. From that branch he became transferred to the Plymouth, December 13th, 1875. During his stay in the Colony the branch has recorded the wife's death. Three children are left to mourn their parents' loss.
