DR. CYRUS C. BAKER
Expiring Suddenly of Heart Disease at His Home To-Day.

The death of Dr. Cyrus C. Baker occurred at his home on State street about 7 
o'clock this morning. Dr. Baker had been subject to attacks of heart disease 
during the greater portion of his life. For nearly two years past, however, 
he had not been troubled with them. Between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning he 
was called out to attend a patient about one-half mile from his residence.  
He returned about 4 o'clock, feeling as well as usual, and retired again.   
Shortly after 5 o'clock he awoke his wife, telling her he was having trouble 
with his heart. A little before 6 o'clock his brother, Dr. John F. Baker, was
summoned, and a short time afterward Dr. Parmele was also sent for. He 
remained conscious up to the time of his death and conversed with those around 
him. A few minutes before his death he told his wife that he thought he was 
going to die.   His brother remarked to him that he had recovered from
previous attacks and would undoubtedly recover from this one.   "There must be
a last one," he replied, and died almost immediately.

Cyrus C. Baker was born in the town of Roxbury, Delaware county, this State,
on January 28th, 1819.   He remained at his home until 1844, when he went to 
Lebanon, Madison county, and commenced the study of medicine with his brother, 
Dr. John F. Baker.   He completed his studies and practiced in that place
until 1850, when he accompanied his brother to Batavia, where he remained
about a year and then went to Albion, where he remained until 1863, when he
returned to his village.   Since that time he has practiced medicine here.  
He was well known and highly respected, not only in Batavia but throughout the
county.   His wife and five children survive him.   Those by his first wife
are Fred. Baker, who for a number of years past has resided in Iowa, but who
has been visiting here for a few days past;  Mrs. John Pratt of this village,
Miss Hattie Baker of Hornellsville, and Frank Baker, who resides in Buffalo.  
By his second wife he had one daughter, Lulu, who lives at home.   He leaves 
two brothers and two sisters, Dr. John F. Baker of Batavia being of the
number.   The others reside at Marathron, Cortland county, New York.
