Another Death In the Family Story
See my previous post for the backstory but while cleaning up a profile,
I came across a death certificate issued for Charles Webster Baker, son of my
3rd great grandparents. I was expecting the normal heart disease or other
similar disease but was taken about when the cause of death was listed as
"Fractured skull" in big bold text. I knew there was a story there
and down below, it indeed said he was killed when "hit by car". He
had been 61 years old at his death and thus old enough that I never really went
looking for his death but upon seeing the above, I changed my tune. Fifteen
minutes later, I found the full newspaper writeup posted below. Pretty much it
sounds like something I have done many times except this time Charles wasn't
looking the right direction to see if traffic was coming and paid the ultimate
price.
