Henry B. BAXTER, born December 17, 1827, died July 4, 1882. [I pause a
moment here to make a
remark, as the date of Mr. Baxter's death comes so near home to me as I
write it. I had always loved
him since our first acquaintance. He lived several years in our
neighborhood; was superintendent of Sabbath-school at State Road, and I
have always been acquainted with Phebe C. Baxter,* his beloved wife. She
is a daughter of J. F. BREED, of whom I have spoken in this volume, and
when I think of my own beloved wife, Eliza, whose name and memory to me are
imperishable, never to be forgotten, died on the 4th of July, 1888, just
six years to a day after my friend, Henry Baxter. Is it any wonder to the
reader that I stop to think? But I continue to give the list of the
departed ones. On this monument, which I may say is the largest and
perhaps one of the most attractive in the cemetery, is inscribed the name
of his wife, or widow: Phebe C. Baxter, born April 3, 1841.
