Used with permission

                            	CHARLIE BAKER

  On Friday of last week, following the tornado at Rocksprings, the remains of
Charlie Baker were brought to Junction for interment.
  Charlie was born in Junction, February 22, 1893, and was reared in this section.
He had been in the restaurant business in Rocksprings for two years, and he was one
among the many who were killed in the tornado.  The remains were laid to rest in the
Junction Cemetery Friday, April 15, at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Dekle officiating.
  The deceased is survived by one brother, Joe Baker, and three half-brothers,
Frank and I. W. Baker, and G. W. Moody, and three half sisters, Miss Etta Moody of
Rocksprings, Mrs. Henry Taylor of Junction, and Mrs. Noah Schrier of Sonora.  
  The many friends of the family will join with the Eagle in extending sincerest
sympathy to the bereaved ones.

Frederica's Note:  The tornado occurred Tuesday, 12 April 1927, and Charlie Baker was
killed instantly when his 2x4 piece of lumber was blown completely through his body.
