Author: higfamhound Surnames: Baker Perkins Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.baker/16212.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The obit says Mary was born in 1874 and married in 1867. That would mean she was married before she was born. Also, if she died in 1937 at the age of just shy of 90 years old, her birth year would have to be 1847 or 1848. Wondering if this is a transcription error or if this is exactly as the newspaper printed it. I am looking for Mary A. D. Baker who was born about 1844.
