ALICE BLAKE BAKER. Mrs. Alice Baker, a native of Kentucky, has continued the work of her husband, J. D. Baker, since his death, in her quiet unassuming manner. Mrs. Baker has traveled extensively, not only in America but in foreign countries. She maintains her home in Weatherford, where she spends part of her time each year. She is a lover of heirlooms and art, and possesses several masterpieces. She is keenly versed in literature and politics. Her philanthropies are numerous; especially are they centered around Weatherford College. She gave money for the seats in the auditorium, and also contributed liberally for the erection of the gymnasium. The First Methodist Church has felt her generosity and kindness, and such worthwhile projects as the Confederate monument have been aided by her contributions. She has helped organizations and individuals by the score. Her deeds exemplify the scripture: “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.”
