In Memory of
EARL BAKER

Kenneth Earl Baker
July 29, 1928 – January 20, 2013

Kenneth Earl Baker contributed greatly to the Morrisburg community throughout his lifetime. He served two terms as a Morrisburg councillor and one term as Reeve of Morrisburg. He worked on the Renew the Vision Campaign for Winchester Hospital. For many years he served as a director on the Upper Canada Playhouse Board. He served on the Chamber of Commerce, and worked on the Mural Committee to create the South Dundas Murals.

One of his last contributions to the Morrisburg community was his work with the Morrisburg & District Lions Club to have a park bench installed outside the Morrisburg Post Office. The bench added greatly to the location providing a place for people to sit for a rest during their busy day. Now that bench serves as a reminder of Kenneth Earl Baker's legacy in the Morrisburg community.
