Quite often whoever answers the questions to the census takers seem to give incorrect information and I think that is probably what happened with this one that shows birthplace as California.  In the 1900 Henry was listed as born in Oregon and Ida was listed as born in KY.  Then in 1910 they are both listed as California, this is probably inaccurate.

Char, you may want to get copy of Ida Baker's death certificate.  It may possibly be the wrong one but there is also the chance that it is the right one.  Also getting Louise Lennox' death certificate would probably provide helpful information.

I couldn't find anything on either Esther or Melrose Hamlin in the marriage index or death index.

Good luck!  Sue

  Sue,
  I'm uncertain if my reply went out to you.  Sorry for the repeat if it did.  Loleta Sybil  Baker is my gmother.  In 1915 she was the Rose Parade Queen and any information I've started to locate on her has started from names of family that I found in the newspaper coverage of the Rose Festival.  One article mentioned Del Baker coming for the parade.  At that time he was the coach for the Detroit Tigers Baseball Team.  I have quite a bit of information on him through the Baseball Library.
  I'll look for birth cert. for Henry abd Ida in Calif.
  Thanks,
  Char

      Possibly your Ida, there were several IDA BAKERS but none of the others seemed to fit, they had different spouses names, etc.
      Name:    Ida Baker
      County:    Portland
      Death Date:  29 April 1948
      Certificate:  4091

      Copies of death certificates more than 50 years old are available from the State Archives.

      I would assume that the death certificate would give an informant's name whether it be her husband or daughter which might give you a clue

        Can someone tell me about this cemetery and how to find it.  
        I am trying to find any information re: Ida Ohler born in Kentucky and married to Henry Richmond Baker in Oregon.  Ida had 3 daughters 1)Sybil, 2) Esther,3) Louise.  I'd like to find the death certificate for Ida.  She is listed as living in Portland in 1920 census (widow-head of household) living with daughter Louise Baker and daughter Esther Hamlin/son-in-law Melrose Hamlin.  

        Sybil married Mark J. Renne and had a son Marc J. Jr.  in 1919. She was married to Samuel Bamber when she died in New Jersey in 1953.

        Louise married a Lennox and had a daughter "Danny" could be Dannielle.  Louise lived in L.A., Calif. and died in 1967.  I'm looking for an obit for Louise and I'd like to find her daughter "Danny" info but I have no married name for her.

        I have found very little on Esther Baker Hamlin (death obit)

        Henry's family left Sherwood and moved to Portland where he was a barber when he died in 1919.
        Any help filling in the blanks is appreciated.
