Today my grandpa (the preacher) Harold Jeff Baker would have been 94.  He was born on this day in 1918 in Loco, Oklahoma.  He called it "Loooooco".  His mother was a Friels and there were a lot of Friels in Loco.  Anyway, he died on April 20, 1998, which means my grandma has been in a very bad mood for 14 years now.

I was going to show you how he appeared on the 1940 census but Oklahoma is not available yet. 

This is how he appeared on the 1930 census:

A few more children showed up after 1930.  Until all of the 1940 census records are uploaded you can check out this map on Ancestry.com with photos from the era.

Also here is a link to my other posts about Baker/Friels birthdays and family.  It is only interesting if you are related to me or just like old photos.

Have a great day and happy birthday, Bake.
