Carrie Luella Pheil (nee Baker)



I have an unexplainable fascination with the Carrie Luella Baker and her family.  

I attribute part of it to this picture of her granddaughter, Nada Frances Smith who died in 2013 and a silly love for a Netflix series called “Bloodline” which took place in the Keys & was Soooo good!! 

Anyways, let’s talk about Carrie.  



She was the daughter of Darius Baker & Hannah J Hegeman (Hannah the daughter of John Hegeman & Eve Johnson).  Carrie was born in Wisconsin and married a Pennsylvanian cabinet maker named John Calvin Pheil in 1890 at Florida; they had 4 children – Minnie, Edith, Wilbur & Walter.
