Obituary 
Mr. Walter A. Baker, a leading citizen in 
Manassas, Georgia, died Thursday night, June 5, 
1997at Memorial Hospital in Sa vannah, Georgia. 
The community, family and friends have lost a 
pioneer. Walter was a quiet pioneer who was 
totally dedicated to excellence in helping and 
caring for everyone. 
Walters love affair with people started years 
ago in Daisy, Georgia, where he was the second 
born to Randoll Baker and Sudie Holland Baker. 
His parents stressed the value of education and 
working to provide your own living. 
Walter became an active member of 
Jerusalem Baptist Church under the leadership of 
Pastor W. W. Whitehead. He loved nature and 
would walk for miles over the farm daily. He was 
always there for everyone. 
He is survived by one sister, Beautine Baker 
Burns (Rev. Tellis Cornelius, Sr.) of Bolingbrook, 
Illinois. Two brothers, Henry Ward Beacher Baker 
and Me Kinzie Baker (Ruby Dell) both of Claxton, 
Georgia and four sister-in-laws, Nita Bell and 
Mamie of Claxton, Georgia, Roberta of Chicago, 
Illinois, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and 
friends.
