Thayer's Note:

a1 a2 Maj.‑Gen. Baumer — for such was his last rank in the Army Reserves — died after the publication of Vol. IX (1950), the most recent volume of the Supplements to Cullum's Register available to me, which may also be the most recent volume in the public domain. His birthplace, and the date and place of his death are from his obituary in Assembly (a publication of the Association of Graduates USMA), January 1991, pp147‑148.
