  from "U.S., Consular Registration Certificates, 1907-1918", 1 Sep 1914 Charles H Baker, born 5 Oct 1872 in Newport RI, left US on Nov 1901, arrived Geneva SWI on 1 Sep 1914. Married to Rose May Baker, b. Syndey N.S.W. Children Charles Baker b. Syndey 21 Aug 1906 N.S.W. and Thelma Baker b. 11 Apr 1910 Sydney N.S.W. All family currently residing Crissier, SWI. Next of kin Mrs. Amos P. Baker, Boston from "New South Wales Police Gazette", 12 Apr 1916 (ancestry.com) Marrickville. - A warrant has been issued by the Newtown Bench for the arrest of Charles Hamilton Baker, charged with wife desertion. He is 42 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches, medium build, pale complexion, black hair, blue eyes, clean shaved, dressed in dark clothes; wears glasses. An American remittance man, of weak intellect; addicted to drink. Complainant, Rose May Baker, Wyee, Durham-street, Marrickville. From "US Passport Applications", 21 Mar 1918 (familysearch.org) AFFIDAVIT TO EXPLAIN PROTRACTED FOREIGN RESIDENCE AND TO OVERCOME PRESUMPTION OF EXPATRIATION Charles H. Baker ceased residing in US in Nov 1910. He resided in Australia, New Zealand, England and Switzerland. Went to Australia and married. Obtained divorced in 1915. Residing now in Lausarne SWI. No business. No property. Father is Amos Prescott Baker. OPINION OF OFFICER TAKING AFFIDAVIT Applicant is the most obnoxious person I know of in this district and country. Constantly expelled from one "Canton" to another for theft, drunkenness etc. It will become impossible for him to remain here much longer. He is penniless but of good family from Boston, Mass. His parents have nothing to do with him and only send him some $50.00 per month. He was expelled from France in 1915 for theft and he is unable to get to Italy from this country owing to the fact that he is wanted there. Applicant's political views I cannot control, as he is a morphine user and has the habit of talking so much in various public places that he is liable to get himself into trouble. Recently he told to all who cared to listen that he was an American Secret Service man and that information coupled with the fact that this country is investing with a good quantity of enemy subjects would naturally lead persons to believe that we had in our country disreputable person engaged in this work. I respectfully request that a passport be granted him for IMMEDIATE return and have his family send this office enough money to buy his ticket back to the United States. Fletcher Dexter, American Consular Agnt. from "New York, New York City Municipal Deaths, 1795-1949" (familysearch.com) Charles Baker, son of Amos P Baker and Ellen Smith, died 2 Apr 1924 in Manhattan, New York, NY.
