Glen Baker, 45, a Converse County rancher for the past 21 years, met a tragic and lonely death in his cornfield, when it is thought one of his team of horses kicked him in the lower side, driving a closed pocket knife into his abdomen several inches and severing an artery. His body was found by a daughter, Mildred, who was riding in the vinicinity and noticed that the horses were standing idle.
Glen Allen Baker was born at Elgin, Nebraska on April 21, 1896. Before coming to Douglas he had been a resident of Alliance, Nebraska. He was a World War veteran.
On February 19, 1920, he was married to Miss Clara Belle Miller. Three daughters were born to this union, Betty, Mildred and Eila, all of whom survive him. Surviving also are his widow; his mother, Mrs. Fannie Miskimen of Alliance, Neb.; two brothers, W. H. Baker of McMinnville, Ore.; and O. W. Baker of Casper; two sisters, Mrs. Jesse Fink of Douglas and Mrs. William Warnke of Ericson, Neb., and two half-brothers, Leslie Miskimen of Douglas and Elmo Miskimen of Alliance.
