General Notes: Husband - Henry R. Baker

---

he began his literary education in the public schools of Cowan, and his training at farm work was upon the old homestead, under his father's able directions. For six years after attaining his majority, he continued to work for his farm, receiving $150 per year.
After his marriage, he located on one of his father's farms, which he rented for fifteen years, but in the autumn of 1890 he purchased the Levi Miller farm in Buffalo township, and resided there beginning the following March. He made many valuable and useful improvements on the place, and had one of the finest country homes in the county-an elegant brick residence, neat and tastefully furnished. He and his wife and daughters were members of the Reformed Church, in which Mr. Baker served as deacon and the young ladies were actively interested in the Christian Endeavor Society. While an ardent supporter of the Democratic party, he was no politician in the sense of office seeking, preferring to give his entire time and attention to his business interests.
