The Beverly Baker who was a nephew of Thomas M. "Bad Tom" Baker
(1860-1899, of the feuding Bakers) was apparently a different,
younger, person from the above man. However, "our" Bev might have been
a cousin of Bad Tom. From the Mount Vernon _Signal_, 6/30/1899:
"ATTEMPTED KILLING
By Four Feet assassins Missed Shooting Beverly Baker and Edward
Garrard,
Near Manchester
Barboursville, Ky: June 27--Some details have been received here of
the
attempted killing of Beverly Baker and Edward Garrard, near Manchester
Saturday. Four shots were fired from bushes on a hill opposite
Baker's
house on Goose Creek. One lodged in the door jamb four feet from
where
Baker was sitting. Beverly is a cousin of Tom Baker.
As Edward Garrard was en route from his home to his farm three
strangers
approached and asked him to take a drink of whisky. When he refused
they
said they would shoot him if he did not. Garrard was afraid the
liquor
might be poisoned and talked awhile regarding it, giving three of his
farm
hands time to overtake him which they did and the strangers
disappeared.
The Garrards are Baker sup****ters."
