General Notes: Husband - Jacob Baker
He owned a large tract of land, and also a sawmill, fulling-mill and carding-machine, which he operated. After the death of his brother John he purchased his property.
His death resulted from illness brought on by breaking through the ice while crossing Buffalo creek. While not a member of any Church, he leaned toward the Dunkard faith. He and his wife were both buried in a private cemetery in Buffalo township, Union County, Pennsylvania, on what was known as the Wendell Baker farm, and in which Wendell Baker was the first interment.
