Baker on it. So, Mr. Gregory is right, the tall whitle marker is actually a footstone. Has anybody ever found a footstone that tall or big before?

She is listed on the large Baker Monument with Evansville Mayor William Baker & wife Nancy on the south side and Indiana Governor Conrad Baker with his two wives Matilda & Charlotte on the north side. Your photo is actually the footstone of her grave and is identified on the back side as being the grave of Mrs. Matilda E. Baker.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading your blogs, you have a lot of variety.
