From a Danbury newspaper: "Harry B. Baxter, whose death occurred last Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George B. Wilkes, on North Street, was the son of Thomas and Sally Baxter, and was born in Miry Brook district, Jan. 28, 1816, and spent a considerable portion of his life in this town.

When about fifteen years of age he removed to the Catskill Mountains section in New York state. Later he lived in Virginia and more recently in Bridgewater and Lanesville, Conn. Mr. Baxter was an old time hatter by trade, and conversant with all its branches, and was a skilled mechanic. Many friends who knew him as a man of most kindly character and genial temperament will sincerely mourn his decease. He is survived by one brother, Samuel C. Baxter, of Penn Yan, N. Y., and one sister, Mrs. Mary J. Barber of this city. Three children also survive: Mrs. Joseph Russell, of Bethel; Mrs. George W. Wilkes, of Danbury, and Mrs. William Mallory, of Bridgeport."
