-Mrs. Alfred BAKER returned to her lonely home in Bay City Monday, from the burial of her husband here last Thursday. She has the sympathy of our entire community. (9 Jan 1908)-DEATH OF ALFRED BAKER.
The Bay City Tribune of Jan. 2nd says: In plain sight of a crowd of people who stood on the platform of the west side Michigan Central depot waiting for the departure of the Midland train at 2:45 yesterday afternoon, Alfred BAKER, a switchman, was almost instantly killed between two cars while trying to make a coupling. The cars stood on the curve of the "Y" where the track bends to cross the river. BAKER stood on the footboard of the engine and was engaged in breaking forward. For some reason he jumped from the engine and ran to the rear of the train to assist in making the coupling. He was on the narrow side of the train where the corners of the cars come much closer together than on the opposite side, when on a curve. As the cars came together they caught BAKER's head, crushing it.
The horrified spectators on the depot platform viewed the body while an ambulance came from mercy hospital. BAKER was hurried to the hospital where he died about 10 minutes after his arrival.
He began railroad work last July and was on a regular run for a time. Lately he has worked as switchman in the yard. He leaves his wife and 8-months-old daughter, who reside on North Dean street. The family came here from Grayling but a short time ago and were not fully settled in their new home although occupying the dwelling. Mrs. BAKER refused consolation when at the hospital she viewed the body of her husband. She has made but few acquaintances since coming here and kind hearted railroad men and the sisters at the hospital did what they could to comfort her. Friends in Grayling were notified at once.
The body was brought here on the p. m. train last Thursday, when funeral services were held in the M. E. church and interment made in Elmwood Cemetery. (9 Jan 1908)
