Guardian Named For Woman's Care

A guardian was named to oversee the care of Mrs. Bessie Baker, 75, confined at Southton Convalescent Sanitarium. County Judge Charles Anderson appointed Teo Tynan after a letter from Dr. J A Williamson certified Baker is unable to care for herself. Baker’s funds totaling 16,020 were found in her room at 226 Goliad while she was treated for a injury. Airlines overbooking fines faced by passengers may be reassessed if Baker remains at Southton, with funds deposited at Frost National Bank and guard to manage access as needed.
