Dr. Leslie Baker, community leader
Leslie M. Baker - a noted physician, the first Eagle Scout in southeastern Indiana and a recipient of that state's highest civilian honor - died Thursday.
The Aurora physician was three days shy of his 85th birthday.
Dr. Baker delivered more than 3,000 babies and continued making house calls even after he retired in 1993. With his twin brother, Judge Lester G. Baker, he pushed for the creation of Dearborn County Hospital, where the intensive care unit bears their name.
"He believed the people of southeast Indiana were entitled to the same quality of care as other places," said his son, Judge John G. Baker.
The graduate of Indiana University served in the U.S. Army with Gen. George Patton's Third Army during World War II and established field hospitals in the European theater.
Dr. Baker graduated from Aurora High School in 1932 as senior class president and captain of the baseball team. He became an Eagle Scout in 1931, and remained active in the scouts all his life. He also helped found the Hillforest Historical Foundation in 1956.
In 1990, former Gov. Evan Bayh recognized Dr. Baker with the Sagamore of the Wabash award, the highest honor for a civilian.
Dr. Baker also leaves his wife, Dolores "Dodie" Baker; daughters, Ann B. Lapp of Indianapolis, Mary Helen Crook of Lawrenceburg and Sarah Nahmias of Greensburg; and a sister, Freda Smith of Maryland.

Kyle S. Hesselbrock, had Tay-Sachs
The Deerfield Township boy who inspired the "Mile for Kyle" walk, Kyle Spencer Hesselbrock, died Wednesday of Tay-Sachs disease. He was 2 years old.
Last fall, about 400 walkers participated in the first-ever walk during the Funfest in West Chester and raised $10,000 for the National Tay-Sachs and Allied Diseases Association in Brookline, Mass., which provides public education and research for a cure. The congenital disease destroys the central nervous system.
"He's the only child with this in Cincinnati," said Kyle's mother, Suzanne Traub-Hesselbrock. "We found out after we joined the national organization. The last child in this area was about five years ago, and the child before that was 11 years ago."
"We would rather that people help us in our quest for research and a cure," she said. "Their money is best spent (on research) rather than flowers."
Memorial contributions may be sent to the Kyle Hesselbrock Fund, c/o Firstar Bank, 3310 W. U.S. Route 22, Loveland, Ohio 45140, to benefit the National Tay-Sachs & Allied Diseases Association.
Besides his parents, Kyle also is survived by his grandparents, Spencer and Alana Traub and Richard and Claudia Hesselbrock; and his great-grandparents, Ferol Traub and Rose Seals.
Visitation is 4 p.m. today at Craver-Riggs Funeral Home, 529 Main St., Milford. A memorial mass will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Community of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 8815 East Kemper Road, Montgomery, Ohio.
