     Prince Albert is proud to number among her native sons Colin E.
Baker, barrister and city solicitor.  His birth occurred on the 5th of
October, 1894, and he is a son of Thomas E. and Florence A. (Moray)
Baker, the former a native of Somerset, England, and the latter of Brock-
ville, Ontario. About 1877, when a young man, the father came to Canada
and for upwards of two years lived in the eastern part of the Dominion.
Subsequently he came overland from Winnipeg to Prince Albert and
soon had established a successful business as a building contractor. He
erected a number of business blocks and residences in Prince Albert and
continued in that line of work until his death, on the 17th of January,
1916.  Mr. Baker proved himself to be a splendid business man and pro-
gressive citizen and Prince Albert suffered a great loss in his passing.
Mrs. Baker survives her husband.
