BAKER, GEORGE
(26 Jun 1924, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Mrs. G. E. Pinkerton received word Sunday of the death of her
brother-in-law, George Baker, husband of her sister, formerly Pearl Lying.
 On account of having just returned from her father's funeral at Canadian,
Texas, she and her brother, Ola Lyng (sic), were unable to go to Enid to
funeral which was held there Tuesday.  Mrs. P. C. Pinkerton and Walter
Lyng went to the funeral.  Mr. Baker died in California where he had gone
with a cousin on a trip thinking the change of climate would be beneficial
to him, though he was not ill.  Being subject to acute indigestion, it is
thought that was the cause of his death; though full particulars were not
given and his death was a great shock to all.
