• Notes

  from "Historical Data Anecdotes and Reminiscences of My Family" by Ethel Baker Neff RALPH ALDEN BAKER, my brother, was born January 13, 1892. He was the son of Everett Milford Baker and Helen Adelia Hill, his wife. Ralph attended school in Medina until leaving with Harold for Wellston, Oklahoma in 1906. He attended school in Wellston until Mother and he moved to Oklahoma City in 1910. There he was employed by the Buick Motor Co. After Ralph's marriage to Blanche Freeland October 4, 1913 Mother came to live with me. Ralph had one son, James Alden, born August 10, 1916. An inheritance from Mother's brother, Graham, gave Ralph the means of gratifying a desire he had long cherished -- that of owning a farm. He bought one near Independence, Mo., moving his family there in the fall of 1919. In the flu epidemic that winter he contracted the disease and died of pneumonia February 9, 1920. Harold and I were with him the last few days of his life. If we had only had penicillin then he might be with us yet. ... from "Missouri Death Certificates, 1910-1963" (sos.mo.gov) Ralph A Baker, a bank office worker married to Blanche Baker, born 13 Jan 1892 in Medina NY to Evert Baker born Sanford NY and Hellen Hill born Medina NY, died 9 Feb 1920 in Blue Township, Jackson, MO of bronchial pneumonia following influenza.
