Message Board Post:
Henry H. Baxter and Sarah "Sallie" F. Hudson had 4 children in Floyd Co., IN.
Among them were two sons, Don Carlos and John. Don Carlos Baxter was in Floyd Co., IN with
his parents in the 1880 census. He married Emma H. Davis on Oct. 4, 1888. He appears to
have died by the 1900 census as indicated by his mother's born/living children count
(4/2), with child Florence living and John stated as living in his mother's 1912
obituary. I would appreciate any information about Don Carlos after 1888- whereabouts,
children, death, etc. His mother's obituary also indicates that he has died by 1912.
What about his wife?
The 1910 Floyd Co., IN census lists Bertha W. Baxter age 10 as granddaughter of Henry and
Sallie Baxter. Is this Don Carlos Baxter's daughter?
John Baxter, brother of Don Carlos Baxter, is only known by a mention of him being the
only surviving son of Sallie Baxter in her obituary dated 1912, which states "John
Baxter of Stockton, Cal". John is not on any census of any county near Floyd Co., IN.
A search of all of CA censuses in 1900-1920 also does not list him. To not ever be listed
in his parent's household, he should have been born between 1880-1900 and close enough
to 1880 to be old enough to go out on his own. Any information on John would be
appreciated.
