Milton Harrison Baber was born April 20, 1911, in or near Baker, Howard, Arkansas to Harrison Miller and Annie Elizabeth Baber. He had several brothers and sisters. His father was a farmer, so therefore, Milton grew up to farming too. The whole family moved to Oklahoma by 1930 and by this time Milton and Mary were married, but living with his father's family. Milton loved to hunt and run hounds, a sport he had learned quite well. He could mock a coon dog baying while he was after the coon and then change his voice to bay "treed". We loved to hear Milt do this. I don't know the year that Milton moved to Arizona, but he worked at Morenci for Phelps Dodge. He worked at the "ball mill" as a repairman. That is where my husband, Clyde, met him. Milton and Mary raised two boys. Our families were best of friends and camped, hunted and ran coons together. A more honest man you'd never meet. When Milton gave you his word, it was as good as gold. Milton died April 13, 1985 at his home on York Flat, north of Duncan, Arizona. He had been in a car wreck coming down the Coronado Trail and he could never recover from it. A dear friend was truly missed.
