Son of Charles Bernard Baker, CE, of 5 The Crescent, Bedford, and afterwards of St Albans. Born Nov 17th, 1864, at Uttoxeter, Staffs. Educated at Haileybury, where he was admitted in 1878 under Mr Bradby, and entered Trinity College, Cambridge, as a Pensioner on June 16th, 1883, with Mr Image as his tutor. Graduated BA after taking a first class in the Natural Science Tripos, and entered St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1886. He acted as House Surgeon to Sir Thomas Smith, whose third daughter, Ada Marion, he married in 1895, and by her had two daughters. Held resident appointments at the East London Hospital for Children, at the Royal Free Hospital, and at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. He practised at 5 Gledhow Gardens, South Kensington, where he died from taking 7½ gr of veronal on March 28th, 1909. His death was amongst the earliest to show that an idiosyncrasy existed for this hypnotic. Whilst he was busy in practice he made time to act for four years as Clinical Assistant at the Royal Eye Hospital, Southwark.
