Tom,

After further review............"Burials in Pro-Cathedral and
Cathedral Cemeteries" Baltimore, Maryland 1791 - 1874.

[note] Back Cover of Records book;

The records in this volume are those of the Pro-Cathedral Cemetery
at Charles and Saratoga Streets and of the Cathedral Cemetery at
North Fremont Avenue and Windchester Street for the period 1791
through 1874. Prior to this book, it was necessary to know an
approximate date of death or burial in order to locate information.
Now the data is in alphabetical order by the deceased's last name,
and the deceased are more easily located. Entries include ( as
available) surname, first name, date of death (d), date of burial (b), age,
cause of death, and additional information. The final section of this
volume, "Incomplete Interments: People Without Last Names", lists
information chronologically by burial date.

The records of the New Cathedral Cemetery are located at the
Maryland Historical Society for 1791 - 1977. Records for
1978 - present are located at the Cemetery at 4300 Old Frederick
Road. 1-410-566-7770.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for all your help.
I called New Cathedral Cemetery in Baltimore. They have no record of Edward
Baker buried there. They do have his second wife Laura V. (Thompson) Baker
who died 1892. That I already knew.
Would you have any clue where Dr Edward Baker may be other than New
Cathedral?
I was expecting to find Dr. Baker there and possible his first wife and
their daughter Jane E. Baker, age 28 born 1822 in Maryland. And that would
lead me to her married name, I didn't find her on the 1860 Baltimore Census.
Thanks again
Tom Thompson
