On May 6, 1918, Dothan Mayor Buck Baker's Mama died. During the next 23 months prior to his own death on March 26, 1920, Buck was a busy man. He married DHS Senior 1918 Eula Stagg in January of 1919 and took her to California for their honeymoon. In April, he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Dothan Fair Association. In May, he put his Mama's house and four acres between North Foster and North St. Andrews in Dixie up for sale. Also in May, the Baker family was featured in a big Montgomery Advertiser article headlined DOTHAN RICH IN MEN OF REAL VISION. In September, Buck and his new wife took two trips out west (both of these could have been to Hot Springs where Buck died in March 1920). In November, Buck served on the Committee for Hotels, Auditorium and Baggage for a Shriner Pilgrimage to the Dothan "Oasis." Then in December, the Montgomery Advertiser wrote that Buck had decided to run for a fourth term as Mayor of Dothan and that he'd donated $8,000 for the purchase of chimes and an echo organ for Foster St. Methodist. It was later reported that Buck made the donation in memory of his Mama. (from the May 7, 1919 SOUTHERN STAR and from the December 4, 1919 MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER)
