Elsie was the daughter Solomon J Barker and his wife Cornelia (Hawk, Howk Honk, Horok?) who died prior to the 1910 census in Seattle, Washington. They married 9/16/1880 in Ingallston, Michigan.
Elsie Barker married Percy Baker, first husband. He was the son of John Baker and Mercy McFarland. Percy was born 3/8/1891, Gardiner, Kennebec county, Maine. And he died 9/14/1975 in Sacramento, California.
Elsie's second marriage was to Paul Lawrence Harmsen December 20, 1949 in Grants Pass, Oregon.
He was living in Camas Valley, Oregon, she in Ten Mile, Oregon before they married. He died 6 years later in 1955.
Elsie was a very artsy and eclectic lady who lived life to the fullest. She created art in the form of ceramics, among other things and she had a Ceramics shop with Paul Harmsen on the highway to Winston, Oregon which she advertised in a Roseburg newspaper, I will attach their advertisement. (her husband Paul was a truck driver which presumably gave her enough time to complete her art work while he was away). She was my sister's Auntie and I loved the many wonderful stories about her avant-garde life.
