He had been in Walkerville, Ont., several months and came to Alpena by boat on May 26. Two days later he was taken ill and grew gradually worse until the end came.
Mr. Baror was born Dec. 11, 1832, near Montreal, Canada, and came to Harrisville in 1859. He was a cooper by trade and worked for years for Francis LaChapelle on what is now known as the Lakeside property but where at that time was located one of the most important cooperages on the lake shore. Later he worked many years at Walkerville, Ont.
In 1872 he married Mrs. Henry Aird, who died several years ago. There are three surviving children from this union, Henry of Walkerville, Mrs. Maude Williams of Alpena and Joseph of Detroit. Also three step-children, Mrs. Grace Silverthorn and Mrs. Rose Lincoln of Harrisville and Mrs. Lillian Fleck of Alpena.
The remains were brought here Saturday and Sunday afternoon funeral services were conducted by the Rev. F. A. Andrews at the home of A. Silverthorn. Interment took place at the South cemetery.
