Grand Ma and Grand Pa Baker some time before 1935

Our Grand pa was killed in a truck wreck in 1935, none of us ever saw him. His name was Dowell George Baker. By all accounts, he was "much of a man." "Doc Baker," as he was called, was kind of the unofficial peace maker when trouble broke out in his area. He would be called to break up fights, or render justice if some bully was taking advantage of anyone who could not protect himself. My Dad always spoke of his Dad in tones of reverence, you just knew that he respected him very much. Daddy was with him on the truck the day he was killed. Grand ma Baker died in 1968, while I was in Korea. She had been buried for more than a week when I got the letter telling me she was gone. She lived for 33 years after his death and never was remarried. She was a very sweet lady!
