1903 - Hillsgrove Accident (likely him)
Wednesday night while returning from his duties at Elizabeth Mill, Harry Baker met with a painful accident. It has been his custom of late in order to save time to scale a picket fence and make a cross cut to his home and Wednesday he took the same course. He either lost his footing or stumbled over the top of the fence and it was precipitated heavily to the ground. Dr. Ballou found that his arm was broken in two places. Dr. Ballou stated that it was a very bad fracture, as both bones of the forearm were broken, one near the wrist and the other near the elbow.

The Draft
The microwave oven was invented accidentally in 1945 by Percy Spencer, a Raytheon engineer. While testing a magnetron, he noticed microwaves melted a candy bar in his pocket. Experimenting further, he discovered microwaves could cook food quickly. Raytheon patented the process, and by 1947, they built the first commercial microwave oven, called the 'Radarange.' Initially used in commercial settings, microwaves becomes affordable for home use by the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionizing cooking.1947 - Explosion
...A similar explosion occurred at 5:20 p.m. in the baement of a 2 1/ 2 story, 3-tenement house owned by Harry Baker at 145 Cottage Street, Hillsgrove. The flooded burner exploded and burning oil shot across the joists of the first floor and up inside an exterior wall.
The joists were charred extensively, but firemen said that they had not been weakened to any great degree. A smoldering fire within the partition caused firemen to remain on the job for 90 minutes, feeding water to the hidden blaze with a pressure spray nozzle. Damage was listed at $300 by firemen, although estimation of the damage within the partition is subject to revision. The fire was extinguished by the Greenwood and Apponaug Fire Companies...
