Other Information

Stone was cracked and wobbly on its base. Cleaned, leveled and repaired August 2021. Married 7 May 1854 by Wm Baker Jr, Justice of the Peace - Westport Marriage Book A pg 137 Inscribed on the stone is "Father". Charles Wilson Baker was born in Westport on January 8, 1831 to Thomas Weaver Baker (1803-1861) and the former Ann Wing (1804-1885). He married the former Abby Davol on May 7, 1854. Charles spent his entire working life around animals and livestock, not surprising for the son of a leather tanner. He worked as a farm laborer, a butcher, and a teamer, driving a wagon led by horses, oxen or mules. He held the position of field driver in the Town of Westport in 1859 and 1860. In that role, his job was to round up stray livestock and return them to their owners. He also served in the Westport Militia in 1856. Charles Wilson Baker died of nephritis, an inflammation of the kidney brought on by chronic kidney disease on March 3, 1893 at age 62. Research: T. Baptista
