	<strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">note from sherry morrish </span></span>&lt;s.morrish913@gmail.com&gt;<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;on May 14, 2014</span></strong><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> My mother was Mildred Agnes Bakeler, or Inez Thomise Bakeler (official birth certificate-Biloxi MS),( April 24, 1926-Jan 6, 2007). Since the Arthur Bakeler family broke up in 1930, theIr boys, ARTHUR and ALFRED were sent to an orphanage where life was harsh. Mildred lived with several relatives in a short amount of time, and finally lived with the Albert Bakeler and Teresa Summreal family, with sole cousin Verne, and Albert&#39;s mother Adoraline Marie Chevalley Michel (1940).</span></span></div>
<div>
	<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">There was also an older brother to Arthur named &nbsp;Joseph(1899), born to Eugene&#39;s first wife, Laura Hasling (1866). Arthur Jr and Alfred set up household when Arthur aged out of the orphanage (1938) and brought his younger brother with him. Although Mildred does not show up on the 1930 census, in a subsequent census dated 1930, she does appear as a resident of the Albert Bakeler household. Mildred graduated from the local Catholic girls school in Biloxi in 1944. She worked briefly in civil service at the Military base, but left soon after to New Orleans&#39; L&#39;hotel Dieu, where she enrolled in the Nurses Corps, supporting the war effort . She left upon graduation for San Diego Ca 1948, to work in a hospital. She was estranged from most of the Arthur Bakeler family for the rest of her life. She did maintain family relationships with Albert and Teresa Bakeler, her uncle and aunt, and especially Floyd and Verne Lamas. &nbsp;There are 3 Bakeler adult children from Verne and Floyd.</span></span></div>
