His second wife Lizzie was born about 1874-75. Myrtle Bordeaux & Lawrence are listed as step children. Myrtle was born about 1888-89 and lawrence about 1891-92. They were all famers or living on a farm throught out the 1900's-1930's. In 1900 and 1910 census they are living in Drew County, Veasey Township. Also in 1910 Myrtle was widowed with 3 kids and her married name was owens. In 1920 census they are living in Lincoln County, Smith Township. Also again Myrtle is remarried to an Enoch Deshazier and had more children. Myrtle was still listed on the 1930 census as well for Lincoln. I do not know where the Bakers went, but most likely they were also in the same vicinity. Also in the 1920 census Myrtle's brother Lawrence Bordeaux is listed with the baker family with his wife Lilie and children. Please if you have any information at all in regards to these families please let me know. My co-worker is just starting her family history research and she need s all the help she can get, because most of the decendants are gone and there is no one she can ask. So, any and information please send it my way and i will pass it on to her. These are both black families, that most likely have a mixture of african american roots.
