[Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
WOODSTOCK, VA., Aug. 11 -- Miss Sarah Baker, of Brockett, died last night after a short illness. The cause of her death is given as heart failure. She was a daughter of Mr. Isaac Baker and was 65 years old. Her sister, Mrs. H. G. Huff, with whom she lived, is the last survivor of nine children.
Col. William Lamb, of Norfolk, has been in this vicinity for a week as a representative of Dr. Edward E. Hale, in an endeavor to locate the grave of Rev. Elisha W. Parmalee, founder of the Greek-letter fraternities of Harvard, Yale and William and Mary Colleges. He is said to have died in Shenandoah county and to have been buried at Red Banks, on the handsome estate of Mr. T. W. Allen. It is stated here that the grave will be marked by a suitable monument if it can be found.
