                 COMDR. H. T. BAKER U.S.N., RETIRED, DEAD

    Well-Known Resident of Norfolk Suffers Fatal Heart Attack On Street Car

Comdr. Henry Thomas Baker, U.S.N., retired, well-known Norfolk resident, 
suffered a fatal heart attack while on his way downtown on a street car 
yesterday shortly after noon. He collapsed in his seat and several passengers on 
the car carried him quickly to the offices of Dr. Stuart D. Williams, in the 
Taylor Building. Dr. Williams summoned Dr. C.D.J. MacDonald, city coroner, whose 
offices adjoin his and together they made efforts to revive the stricken man. 
Commander Baker, however was dead within a  minute or so after being taken to 
the office and artificial respiration and adrenalin injections proved futile.
Commander Baker was a native of Jamestown, N.Y., the son of the late Charles and 
Mrs. Katharine Heffernan Baker, of that city. He had resided in Norfolk for the 
past 20 years. 
Beside his wife, Mrs. Lucie Ward Baker, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. 
Philip L. Haynes; a son, Henry Drewry Baker; a brother, Scott Baker, of 
Jamestown; a sister, Mrs. Everard P. Miller, Jr., of Wuchang, China and several 
nieces and nephews.
The body will be removed from the residence, 528 Boissevain Avenue, to the 
Sacred Heart Catholic Church for funeral services tomorrow morning at 10 
o'clock. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.
