Ex-Omaha Boy Killed in Cave-in
A former Omaha boy suffocated Thursday afternoon in a sewer ditch cave-in near his new home at Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
He was 9-year-old Dennis Baines, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert J. Baines, who lived at 2309 South Thirty-first Street until a year ago.
An aunt, Mrs. Donald Baines, 5039 Poppleton Avenue, said the boy fell into the ditch. Dirt tumbled down on him.
His father, former foundry superintendent for Omaha Steel Works and now a building contractor, dug him out. The boy was dead. Dennis formerly attended Our Lady of Lourdes School here.

On April 24, 2017, nine of the Baines siblings gathered to watch the disinterment of their brother Denny's grave, who was originally buried in Brooks Memorial Cemetery Fort Walton Beach, Florida. They journeyed back to Nebraska and laid him to rest next to his brother Michael at Pleasant View Cemetery.
