 General Notes:
He was known as "Bill" Baker. His parents were John Baker, Jr. born in Yarmouth, Massachusetts and Louisa Ann Walker Baker born in Boston, Massachusetts.
Bill was married to Fannie Augusta Kelley and they lived in Duxbury, Massachusetts. An interesting fact is that her sister, Hannah D. (Kelley) Baker, was married to Bill's father's first marriage to Louisa Ann Walker.
Bill's grandson, Raymond, said he was a captain on a ship. He moved to Duxbury, MA because in the late 1800's, land was very reasonable. He had several properties there, as well as a room in Boston. He was known for meeting people in Boston and bringing them back to Duxbury to stay for a week or so. He had many friends.
