Baker, Calvin

SOMERSET BRAKEMAN GROUND TO PIECES. A Baltimore & Ohio breakman, Calvin Baker, 
of Somerset, aged 23 years was ground to death under the wheels of a freight 
train in the Johnstown yards early Saturday evening. Baker was working on a 
shifter and stepped from his engine in front of a train going in the opposite 
direction. The remains were taken to his home in Somerset Sunday evening and the 
funeral took place Monday afternoon. The unfortunate young man was a son of Jere 
Baker, of Adams. For the past two years he has been living in Somerset. His wife 
and one child survive.
