  Baker, Carl   

Carl is the son of Carrol and Laura (Custer) Baker.  I don't have any additional data on Carl's military service, but on a personal note I have to say that he was my favorite cousin.  I always remember him as being exemely kind to me.  Carl forever had a smile on his face and something nice to say about everyone.
