Death record gives father as Anderson Baker, mother as Mrs. A. Baker and no spouse - since there were two Andersons with sons named John A., this is inconclusive. Also He is listed as age 46 at death, which would be a birth of 1870 - which agrees with neither John A. FindAGrave has these dates with this John A. Baker.
