(WALKER) BAKER's monuments located in Row 1, Part 4 in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana. Their remains were moved from the VANSLYKE Cemetery in Bloomfield to the Worthington Cemetery in 1908 according to the following article: "THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, April 10, 1908, Vol. XXXII, Number 21, Page 1, Column 2: "Moved the Remains of His Parents." Henry BAKER, of Worthington,accompanied by a couple of his neighbors, was here Tuesday for the purpose of taking up the remains of his parents, who were buried in the little round-top VANSLYKE Cemetery on the mound at the western edge of town, and removing them to the cemetery at Worthington, where they were interred on the BAKER family lot. His parents, Nathan and Prudence S. BAKER, were among the very early settlers of this locality, and both died in 1856{1851}, only three weeks apart. There are a number of other graves of pioneers in that little cemetery."
