General Notes: Husband - Elijah Baker

---

He learned the carpenter’s trade in his early life at Howardville, Centre County, PA, and when twenty-one years of age he came to Mercer County and began teaching school, teaching his first school in Hickory Township. He taught about three terms in all, and then turned his attention to the carpenter’s trade, both building and contracting. From a contractor he became a farmer, and he also served as one of the three commissioners of Mercer County from 1873 to 1876, while for many years he was a township officer, a supervisor, auditor and school director. He voted with the Republican Party. He and his wife had five sons and five daughters. Six of these children were still living in 1909.
