R. BAKER in Travis county January 16, 1962. They were divorced
in Travis County September 11, 1984. At the time of their marriage,
Patsy was a student at the University of Texas. She was born about
1942. Prior to her enrollment at the University of Texas, she
had graduated Kermit High School, Kermit, Texas with the class
of 1959. Patsy interrupted her college studies to marry and possible
to have a child. At the time of her divorce from William R. Baker
she had one child under the age of 18. Patsy returned to the University
and completed her studies earning a Master of Art degree in Math
in 1968. It is believed that WILLIAM R. Baker married a second
time to ANNES Y. SNEED on February 23, 1985 in Travis County Texas.
PATSY L. (WATSON) BAKER may have moved to California or remained
somewhere in Texas. If anyone has any information that would help
me locate Patsy I would appreciate hear from you. Perhaps someone
who has access to the city of Austin city directories in the 1960's,
1970's, and 1980's or later could do some look ups for me. Perhaps
