Daughter of Lawrence Colby and Margaret E. (Close) Baker.*
According to Jim McCreary, Barbara was struck and killed by a hit & run driver while crossing Telegraph Road in Ash Township. "Her father had gone out to the road to guide her across, and when she saw him, she ran toward him, right in front of a passing car. The car slowed, and then sped away; they never found out who the driver was. Her father (my grandfather) saw the whole thing happen. I think she was killed on impact."
According to Barbara's sister, her birth date was January 23, 1924, which conflicts with her death record.
