MARRIAGE:
Martha Pacetosh - Indian Name: Walking Woman (Moosa-Quay)

MOTHER:
Christine McClellan

Photo is GEORGE BAKER and his mother CHRISTINE MCCLELLAN.

Note that his headstone reads 1943 as a year of death. However, his obituary did not appear in the Petoskey Evening News, until 3 Apr 1944. Emmet County death records show a death date of 1 Apr 1944, Liber 5, Folio 40.

There is no death certificate posted at SeekingMichigan.Org, at this time, although a partial record does exist and is attached. Which supports his death date as 1 Apr 1944 and a birth year of 1852.

It would appear that there is an error in making of the headstone which should read 1944.
