Hi Wikitreers,
While we research and try to connect the family of the “Radio Doctor” Norman G. Baker a notable and con man. We find that the memorial on FindAGrave for Lew Boyend Baker (1888 - 1897) has Lew connected as Norman Bakers brother.
I have not been able to find Lew’s death record or an obit with any details. Does he have a birth record showing parental lineage?
How did a little 8 year year old Sunday School boy pass away so early in life and do we have the right parents connected.
There is an article in the same year and timing of a train crash and also another of a Lew going to pick apples with others. I’ll post them articles soon for reference.

Any collaboration is appreciated
Thank you
