General Notes: Husband - Aaron J. Baker


He was educated at the public schools of his native county, and also attended the Salem Crossroads Academy. He worked on the farm until the death of his father, after which he fol­lowed the carpenter's trade in Westmoreland County, PA, until he was twenty-nine years old, a part of this time being spent in Mount Pleasant. In July, 1882, he came to McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and a few years later established himself in the contracting business, with which he was identified until 1912. The greater number of his contracts were for pri­vate residences, but among the more prominent buildings were: The Beulah Park Church, Ballentine Church on Huey street, the West Side Methodist Episcopal Church, several school houses, etc. In 1912 he turned his busi­ness over to his son, and now occasionally works for him. For about five years he was also in the real estate business. He erected a fine residence for his own use at No. 3017 Versailles avenue. He was always a staunch supporter of the Republican party, and served for some time as a member of the school board. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and his fraternal affilia­tion is with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Royal Arcanum and the Beneficial Union. [GPHWP, 923]
