General Notes: Husband - P. A. Baker

---

After his marriage, he operated his father's farm two years, but in 1874 purchased the Adam Young farm at $142.50 per acre, and there continued to live until his removal to Vicksburg, where he owned one-half part of the old Shoemaker farm of 127 acres, which cost him $166 per acre, and was but poorly improved in the way of buildings. He sold his first purchase in 1890, but still retained the farm at Vicksburg, which he successfully operated for a few years, but later gave most of his time and attention to the implement business. In 1894 he erected a store building, where he also conducted the post office, being appointed postmaster on the 17th of June of that year. He was never very active part in political affairs, but always supported the men and measures of the Democratic party, and was made election inspector.
Mr. Baker and his estimable wife were active and prominent members of the Reformed Church, and he was appointed elder of the Church organized in Vicksburg. The Sunday-school also found in him an able champion, and he fitted up the building in Vicksburg, where the first Sunday-school was held.
At one time was a member of the Grange.
