General Notes: Husband - Conrad Baker

---

For two years he attended the public schools of his native land, and after coming to the United States was a student in the first free school ever taught in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. For two years after locating there his mother endeavored to find a farmer who would rear her son, and finally he was bound out to Daniel Stover, a prominent agriculturist, with whom Mr. Baker remained for three years. After her second marriage she had great difficulty in securing him. With the family he came to Clearfield County in 1837, and assisted in building the cabin and improving the land. As a farm hand he worked by the month for $6, and during the winter attended school until sixteen years of age, when he went to the lumber woods, where he also received $6 per month for his services, although he did a man's work. In the following spring he again obtained employment on a farm, at $11 per month, and was alternately employed at agriculture and lumbering until 1850, when he purchased a farm of 200 acres, for which his stepfather had failed to pay. He later bought and sold a number of farms and unimproved tracts of land, and besides his homestead, had a fine farm of one hundred acres, supplied with good buildings. For a number of years he was interested in the lumber business, in which he met with excellent success, but later gave his attention exclusively to agriculture.
He and his wife were active and prominent members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Baker served as county commissioner of Clearfield county from 1864 to 1867, having been elected on the Democratic ticket. During, and toward the close of the war of the Rebellion, (1864) he sent a substitute. Socially, he was for twenty-five years or more been a member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge at Glen Hope.
