Mary's family had a draying business in Scotland, but after her father died, Mary's mother and the rest of the Baker family immigrated to Alberta. Mary's brother, Allan Baker(#120990830), was living with Mary and John in 1906, and took up a homestead S.W. of the Birds. Mary's mother and Mary's siblings, Donald, Hugh, Marion, and Alex Baker went to Edmonton. Annie (Mrs. Clydesdale) went to Calgary, as did Jim and his family. Tragedy struck in August 1914. Mary and her three boys, along with Mary's mother, her brothers Donald and Allan, and cousin Peggy Clydesdale (9 years) had gone for a Sunday afternoon visit by the river. They were wading in the river when Peggy went in too far, stepped in a hole, panicked, and went downstream. Allan and Donald, neither of who could swim, went in after her. None came up. The boys ran for their dad John, who was a good swimmer, and he and some neighbours eventually found them in 15 feet of water and recovered the bodies. In later years, Mary raised turkeys and chickens. The turkeys were high quality breeding stock and shipped all over Canada and the US.
