      BURIAL:
      1. Per tombstone list on file prepared by Brett T. Dunham, Manager of the Winters Cemetery District, 415 Cemetery Drive, P.O. Box 402, Winters, CA, 95694, phone 530-795-2475, email wcd415@sbcglobal.net. The following are buried in Sect. 6, lot 50, Baker plot, all surnamed Baker:
      -Blanche, Oct 11, 1883-Oct 27, 1969.
      -John F., -Feb 18, 1890, age 49-7-8.
      -Susan Jane, wife of J.F. Baker, -Feb 14, 1903, age 55-11-8.
      -William Elmer, -Aug 30 1932, age 54y.

      2. Per photos of tombstone inscriptions provided to me by Rea Jenkins 19 Jan 2011:
      -"Eula D. Cooper, Jan. 26, 1875 - Feb. 7, 1959."
      -"John F. Baker, Died Feb. 28, 1890, aged 49 yrs. 7 mos. 8 ds. Native of Mass. Susan Jane, wife of J.F. Baker, died Feb. 14, 1903, aged 55 yrs., 11 mos. 8 days. Native of Illinois. At Rest." [Tombstone clearly gives John's death as 28 Feb, which then makes his birth date 20 Jul 1840, both of which are at variance to what dates I have been using.]
      -Military tombstone: "William Elmer Baker, California, ___ Am. Service, August 30, 1932."
      -"George D. Cooper, Oct. 11, 1862-Nov. 12, 1958."

      -"Egbert H. Son of H. & A.M. Cooper, died Jan 26, 1869. Aged 18? ys 10 ms. 16 ds." [This gives a different birth date of 10 Mar 1851 compared to what we have used of 16 Oct 1851.]
      -"Charles C. Cooper, 1860-1943."
      -"In memory of Wealthy A. Cooper who died March 23, 1865, aged 71 years. [Includes photo of illegible poem.]"
