    3. The Meriden Message Jefferson County Friday March 13, 1931 Altha BAKER, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.T. BAKER, passed away Monday night at Christs hospital. She had enjoyed perfect health all her life but suddenly became ill Saturday morning with a pain in her side. It was not considered serious until Monday morning when she tried to descend the stairs and called for help; then they discovered that her hands and feet had become dark and spotted. Dr. Taylor was called and she was taken to the hospital. It was found that the blood had leaked from her veins, and collected under the surface of the skin. A transfusion of blood taken from her mother was of no avail. She passed away about eleven o'clock. She will be greatly missed as she was a care free girl and enjoyed games and sports. The funeral was held at the U.B. church Thursday afternoon.
