From the Times of India :-
"Sir Edward Norman Baker, K.C.S.I., whose death is announced today, was born in 1857, and educated at Christ's College, Finchley. He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1878, and won his reputation in the Financial and Commercial Department of the Government of India, where he served as Under-Secretary, Deputy-Secretary, and Secretary. After three years of the latter position he was appointed in January, 1905, Finance Minister in succession to the late Sir Edward Law. In 1908, he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, and was the only Lieutenant-Governor who supported the clause of the Indian Councils Bill which gave authority for the creation of Council Governments in provinces hitherto under one-man rule, and which was first rejected by the House of Lords. But he found difficulties in finding a suitable Indian member, and the Executive Council of Bengal was not established until some 18 months after the passing of the Act. He retired in 1911, owing to the serious illness in England of his second son. Sir Edward married in 1884, Mildred, daughter of Col. S. T. Trevor, R.E."
