Thacher Baxter, born in Dennis 28 Sep 1840, son of Heman & Mary Look (Baker) Baxter, and brother of John Baxter of the previous photo. He married, in Dennis, 10 Dec 1863, Mary7 Parker Crowell (b.

Both he and his wife are buried in West Dennis Cemetery. Deyo says about Thacher: Thacher T. Baxter8 (Heman7, John6, Reuben5, Thomas4, Thomas3, Thomas2, Thomas Baxter1)[ ] was born in 1840. His mother was Mary L. Baker. Mr. Baxter learned the trade of harness maker. He kept a hotel on the European plan at Cottage City, and in 1868 he built the Baxter House there. In 1871 he returned to West Dennis, where he has since been a furniture dealer. He was married in 1863 to Mary P. Crowell. They have three children: Alpheus T., Lavina M. and Charles T. He is a member of the West Dennis Methodist Episcopal Church, has been Sunday-school superintendent about twenty years, and is President of Yarmouth Camp-meeting Association. [Simeon L.
