Note: Anderson & Adeline married in 1904 - Anderson's first wife, if her birth is correct, was too old to be the mother of Rosie & Carrie - yet they were born before the marriage to Adeline. Either they are stepdaughters - Rosie & Carrie, and another daughter Caroline who died prior to 1910, as well as Fannie were born to Adeline out of wedlock before the marriage to Anderson Baker.

Death record states his father was John Baker, his mother "Martha" Baker. Said to have been found dead in his bed. He was buried Macedonia Cemetery, as was wife Catherine. No mention of a wife in the death entry ....There is a stone pictured on FindAGrave for Catherine Baker with a death date of 1922 - it's very clear.

So what is Anderson doing with Adeline in 1910? Was there a divorce? Apparently - Catherine was living with her youngest son, James, two households away.
