| 6967 | from The Sun and Erie County Independent", 9 Dec 1920 (newspapers.com) The morning of Wednesday, December 1, 1920, our community was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Fred W. Baker, owner of a large farm one and a half miles from this village on the state road. Mr. Baker with his neighbor, Oscar Kraft, on account of the coal famine in this town, felt it necessary to go to the woods to fell some trees for fire. The first tree they began to work on was a large beech that stood on a bank, they had sawed and wedged it until it was about to topple over, and each man ran for a place of safety but it was thought Mr. Baker must have miscalculated as the tree fell directly on him, knocking him down and killing him instantly. Mr. Kraft ran for assistance but it was one half mile to the home of Clyde Horton, the nearest neighbor. All nearby men were notified and hurried to the spot where the body laid. By means of props and screw jacks the fallen tree was raised and Mr. Baker's body was carefully taken out, placed in a wagon and carried to his home. The medical examiner came three hours later and issued a certificate of accidental death. Mr. Baker was born and his younger days were spent in Niagara County, he came to this village 22 years ago, for the first three years he leased a farm but in 1903 he purchased the farm where he has since resided, of Valda Canfield, of Buffalo. He was in an esteemed citizen, possessed a genteel disposition, was kind and thoughtful to everyone, especially to his bereaved wife, who has been in delicate health for a number of years. His loss is deeply felt in this community. Other survivors are a daughter, Mrs Zuick of Erie, Pa., a son and two brothers in and near Lockport, also Three Sisters, Mrs. LaBar, Buffalo, Mrs. Frank Richardson of North Collins and Mrs E. Walters of Lockport. Funeral services were held at the family home Friday, December 3d, at 11 o'clock, Rev. John Calvin of the Baptist Church, officiated. Internment was at Cambria Center, Niagara county at 4 p.m. Many old time friends and relatives attended the burial. | Baker, Fred W (I1126)

| 6968 | from The Utica Observer, Mar. 15, 1883 (fultonhistory.com) OSWEGO's SINGULAR CASE James N. Baker died at Oswego on Saturday. He was to have been buried yesterday. Mr. Baker, when alive, frequently conversed with his wife about the horrors of being buried alive, and expressed fears that he himself should be so buried. Yesterday, although he had been apparently dead for two days, his lips and face retained a bright pink color, which indicated that there might still be life, although the body was rigid. A doctor pricked the body to several places, but no blood appeared. It was, however, thought best to postpone the burial. | Baker, James Northam (I1584)

| 6993 | from Wikitree biography from GEDCOM by Alyson X, 5 Jul 2011 He died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Louisa R. Gerrish on Main Street, suffered from paralysis of throat. Jonathan at the age of ten, family moved to Fairhaven and lived in Nasketucket. Attended school for a while and became a teacher for one winter in Rochester. Became a clerk at R.H.White & Company & later entered the employ, as traveling salesman, of H.B.Claffin, New York. While there the war broke out and he enlisted for nine months in the army. Upon the expiration of his term he returned to Fairhaven. He called the first war meeting in Fairhaven which was held in Phoenix Hall and later opened a recruiting office where E.S.Whiting's market is today. Mr. Cowen assisted in forming the pioneer corps and he again enlisted in the 3d Massachusetts Cavalry. He served all through the war and was in several very severe engagements, in one of which he was wounded in the thigh and had three horses shot from under him. His knee was caught under the pommel of the saddle and broken. He served on the staff of General Witzell, and under Sheridan and Banks, and through bravery won successive promotions to sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. When the war ended he was in line for promotion to the office of colonel. When Captain he was in charge of the preparations for blowing up Fort Hudson and there were a number of local veterans serving under him at the time. It is now a matter of history that when everything was prepared the fort was surrendered. At the end of the war he again entered the employ of H.B. Claffin who placed him in charge of a large store in Galveston, Texas, where he remained for a number of years. He afterwards, in company with his brother Edward, entered the lumber business and in connection with this the building of railroad bridges, in which lines they were very successful. In the early 80's Major Cowen retired and returned to Fairhaven. A daughter and a brother Edward P. Cowen of Baker City, Ohio, and a sister Mrs. Louisa R. Gerrish, survive him. Major Cowen attended Friends' Academy, Providence, and the Fairhaven High School. He was a member of the High School Association. | Cowen, Jonathan Emerson (I13537)

| 7000 | from written biography (findagrave.com) A.W. Fowler was born in Texas in 1837. He moved to the Central Texas area where he was mustered into service as a private on September 27, 1861. Fowler was a member of the 6th Texas Infantry Company A. After the regiment was created, it proceeded to Arkansas. The regiment was taken prisoner here at Fort Hindman, Arkansas Post, Arkansas on January 11, 1863. Fowler was among the men captured and was sent to Camp Butler, Springfield, Illinois. The regiment was exchanged with the Confederacy and was sent east of the Mississippi to Tennessee. Here they were consolidated with the 10th Texas Infantry and the 15th Texas Cavalry in May 1863. This new regiment participated in several battles in Tennessee. They were first engaged in Chickamauga, then in Nashville, next Murfreesboro and finally in Bentonville. Fowler states he ended his service on September 1, 1864, but military records show him being enrolled in St. Mary's U.S.A. Hospital in Montgomery Alabama for unknown battle injuries in 1865. After the war Fowler worked as a farmer and laborer. By 1898 he was living in Austin, Texas and on June 19, 1918, he was admitted to the Confederate Home. Fowler died of paralysis on November 1, 1918 at the age of 81. | Fowler, Alexander W (I59)
