At Plainfield, New Jersey, September 6, 1907, Cynthia Greene Baker, wife of the late Rev. Halsey H. Baker.
Mrs. Baker was the daughter of Amos and Nancy Saunders Greene; and was born at Berlin, Rensselaer County, New York, on August 12, 1817. When quite a young girl she professed faith in Christ as her Savior, joining the Berlin church, and throughout this long and eventful life has been an humble and devoted disciple of Jesus. On August 22, 1837, she was married to Halsey H. Baker by Rev. William B. Satterlee, at Berlin, New York.
Eld. Baker's first pastorate was at Waterford, Conn. They afterward lived for some time at New Market, New Jersey, where Eld. Baker was pastor. Their home for many years has been at Plainfield, New Jersey. Mrs. Baker was, at the time of her death, a member of the church at Berlin, to which church Mr. and Mrs. Baker removed their membership at about the time they came to Plainfield to live.
Mrs. Baker was, like her husband, of great strength of body, mind, character and spiritual life. The world seems weaker and poorer because they have gone. There is left of the immediate family a brother, Charles F. Greene, of Berlin, New York, and a daughter, Mrs. Charles G. Crawford, of New York City.
