Found this and wanted to share:

Died--In this city on the 11th July, Joseph BAKER, Esq., Spanish Clerk in the General Land Office, a native of the State of Maine, aged about 42 years--The deceased emigrated to Texas sometime previous to the war, and was a man of the revolution. He had filled various important stations in his adopted country, with credit to himself and usefellness to those who had honored him with their confidence. His high sense of honor and probity and social qualities, has embalmed his memory in the hearts of a large circle of friends, while his varied attainments, general intelligence, and good humor, rendered him at once an instructive and pleasant companion and useful citizen. His friends every where, and they were many, will hear of his demise with bitter regret, and sigh that they can no longer meet his cordial and merry greeting. It will be gratifying to his relations abroad, to know that he received every attention during his illness, and that the last sad rites were performed with due solemnity, by a large number of citizens and friends. 8/19/1846
