“ G. Howell Baker, A.R.W.A., aged 41, at his residence, Ingleside, Bridgend, there has passed away an artist possessed of great and rare abilities-gifted with a vivid imagination and a strongly marked individuality which infused into his work that quality of vitality which was a distinguishing feature of all his productions. ”

“ For 17 or 18 years he had been a resident of Bridgend. He was quietly buried on Tuesday in Nolton Churchyard Bridgend, the Rector (Rev. T. P. Price) officiating. Much sympathy is felt with the mother and sister, and with his fiancee, Miss L. Abbott, daughter of Mr William Abbott, Coychurch Road. Most of Mr. Baker's artistry will live after him, and make for him an enduring name, and it is profoundly hoped that in time the people will have an opportunity of seeing the art treasures at Ingleside. ”

“ He was a lecturer in art for Swansea, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Llantrisant, and Ogmore and Garw Valleys, and five or six years ago was elected a member of the Art Council in connection with the Glamorgan Education Committee. The Earl of Plymouth (always his commendatory critic) accepted the dedication of two pen and ink sketches, one being The Forest Hymn" (by William Cullen Bryant) , and the other, "The Palace of Art" (Lord Tennyson) . Mr. Baker mostly excelled in symbolic painting and pen and ink sketches. ”
