I have recovered an old photograph of Edgar D. BAKER which
was taken at the Rundell Studio in Sherburne, NY. The photo is dated 1889 with
Edgar appearing to be in his early teens at the time the photograph was taken. Based
on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
Edgar and his family:
?
Edgar Dunning BAKER was b. 4 Sept 1875 in Sherburne, NY to
parents Edgar Gideon BAKER (1834-1880) and Jane ¡°Jennie¡± WALKER (1835-1889) who
were married in 1862 in North Gage, NY.?
Edgar was one of 7 children born to this couple including Walker E.;
Anna ¡°Annie¡± Laura or Laurie; Clara Belle; Clara Diana: Lillian Goodwin; and
Edgar Dunning BAKER, all born between 1864 and 1875.? Edgar married twice, first to Mabel Vincent COLGAN
(b. 1880) and second to Lena May RATHBUN (1885-1977) who he married on 12 Oct
1916 in Hinckley, NY and they had a daughter, Jane Elizabeth BAKER (1917-2014).? Edgar died in 1963 in Pittsfield, MA and is
buried in the Prospect Cemetery in Prospect, NY.

I am hoping to locate someone from Edgar¡¯s family so that
this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family.? If you are a member of this family or know
someone who might be, please contact me.
