Individual Details
Andrew Peter BAKER
(3 MAY 1887 - 3 SEP 1952)
Some text list Andrews's middle name as "Peter". This is in disagreement with family text that show that his siblings all share their mother's maiden name, Metzker, as a middle name. I suppose his complete name could be Andrew Peter Metzker BAKER---his older sister Mary has two middle names, i.e. Mary Alice Metzker BAKER. But, all formal records, Fed. Census, WW-I Draft Registration, his Obit as well as his children's Obits refer to him as Andrew P. BAKER, and that is the manner in which it will be shown.
