Daughter of Andrew Jackson Carpenter and Susan (Mitchell) Carpenter. Second wife of Samuel Baker (he was born 1853). They were married December 1, 1905 in Colusa. Her first husband was William Clark White. It appears she actually came west with her parents and siblings instead of with her first husband as her obituary states. She is in the 1870 Eugene, Lane, Oregon census with her parents.
