General Notes: Husband - Thompson M. Baker

---

He was born in Beaver township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He received his primary education in the public schools, afterwards attended West Sunbury Academy, and Grove City College, and finished his classical course at the former institution, where he received the first diploma granted by that school. In 1885 he commenced reading law with John M. Russell, was admitted to practice in September, 1888, and became a member of the firm of Coulter & Baker.

His preparatory education was acquired in the public schools and at Sunbury Academy, from which he was graduated, and he then became a student at Grove City College. Between his terms of study he taught school, and then took up the study of law, being registered with the late John M. Russell. He was admitted to the bar in 1888, and for fifteen years practiced in association with H. E. Coulter. In 1903, one year after the organization of The Guaranty Safe Deposit and Trust Company, he was elected treasurer of this corporation, a position he filled until October 1914, when he resigned to give his time to his varied interests. He was a director of the People's Telephone Company and of seven other corporations. In political opinion he was Republican, and was a member of the city council, and for a time served as secretary of that body. He also served as treasurer of the school board. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was a member of the board of stewards. His fraternal affiliation was with the Knights of Pythias, Knights of the Maccabees, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. [GPHWP, 1252]
