The Baker-Taylor Funeral Home was a long-time funeral home run by Charles and Gladys Baker. It was at 1214 - 8th St. until 1958, when it was forced to move for the Acorn Housing Project, to 980 - 8th St.

A 1921 obituary refers to it as "successors of Wells-Baker". 3 The FindAGrave entry for Charles Baker says it was founded in 1919 by Charles and Gladys.

Today 980 - 8th St. is the Baker-Prado Funeral Home.
