Shirley Waldemar BAKER (1836-1903), missionary and premier of Tonga.
"...Baker returned to Tonga in 1880, was immediately installed by Tupou as his premier and resigned from the Wesleyan ministry. Under his administration Tongan finances were reorganized, the land laws were revised and a National system of education was set up in competition with the Wesleyan system. A bitter dispute developed with the Wesleyans and in 1885 Baker established the Free Church, Wesleyan in doctrine but free from Australian control. The King ordered all Tongans to join the new church; those who refused were beaten by their chiefs and despoiled of their possessions..."--Australian Dictionary of Biography
