• Notes

  from "Massachusetts, Death Records, 1841-1915" (ancestry.com) Daniel Brooks Baker, age 65y 8m 15d, a shoe manufacturer, born Littleton to Jonathan Baker b. Littleton & Betsey Waitt b. Danvers, died on 22 Dec 1885 in Danvers of a suicide pistol shot. from "The Boston Globe", 23 Dec 1885 (newspapers.com) Danvers, December 21. - D. Brooks Baker of the firm D. B. Baker and Son, shoe manufacturers, committed suicide this afternoon. He was about as usual during the day and about 5 o'clock went to his factory and ordered the engineer to shut down. This was done and Mr. Baker started out into the backyard of this house. In a few minutes the engineers heard a pistol-shot, and rushing to the door saw Mr. Baker placed the pistol behind his ear and fire a second time. He fell to the ground, and after being carried to his house Dr. Kemp was called, who pronounced all effors to save his life futile. No cause has been assigned for the act, as a firm was apparently doing a good business and he was not known to have any trouble. Deceased was about 65 years of age and leaves a widow and grown-up son and two daughters.
