Henry J. Baker
b. 1849 England
d. 1909 Milwaukee WI
     Henry J. Baker was born circa 1843 at England.2 He married Myraette Ball, daughter of Marcus D. Ball and Mercy (????), on 8 June 1866 at Eaton Co., MI.3 Henry J. Baker and Myraette Ball were divorced before 1880.4 Henry J. Baker died on 22 March 1909 at Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., WI.4 He was buried at Wood National Cemetery, Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., WI.4
     Comment by DGB: In the 1900 census there was a Henry J. Baker, b. Nov 1844 in England, listed as married 9 years with a son Henry J. Jr. b. Nov 1891 in MI (father b. England and mother b. Finland) and living at Marquette MI. It is likely that the son, Henry J. Baker married at Lansing MI 23 Dec 1914 to Mary VanCleve (b. c1893 at Montcalm Co. MI to William VanCleve and Emma Evans). That Henry J. Baker was listed as the son of H. J. Baker and Lena Selocka. It is probable that this was this Henry J. Baker, Lena his second wife, and Henry, their son. End of comment.      Photo courtesy of Kristin A. Bates.5
