SAMUEL BAKER.

Samuel Baker, son of Solomon and
Elizabeth (Custer) Baker, was born
about four miles south of Grantsville,
Md, May 6, 1858, and passed from
earthly scenes near Uniontown, Pa,
November 7, 1929, at the age of 76
years, months and one day. He was
united in marriage July a, 1875, with
Mary Miller, a daughter of the late
Henry and Lydia (Folk) Miller. To
this union were born ten children
five sons and five daughters. His wife
died April II, 1920. Three daughters
preceded their parents in early child
hood, and one son, Mahlon, who was
married to Fannie Brenneman, of near
Bittinger, Md, died at his home near
Brdgeville, Del, some. years ago.
There are surviving four sons and two
daughters: Alvin o. Baker, Solomon
H. Baker and H. G. Baker, Of near
Bridgeville, Del, and Christian II.
Baker, Uniontown, Pa. Mrs. H. E.
Wagner, Masontown, Pa, and Mrs. j.
P. Miller, of Ohio. Sixteen grandchil-
dren also survive. Of his parental
family, two brothers survive: Daniel
Baker and John Baker, both of Grants
vile, and one sister, Mrs. Daniel w.
Maust, formerly Of Springs, Pa, at
present of Masontown, Pa. One sister
and one brother preceded him in
death: Mrs Louis burst, of Jennings,
and Simon Baker, of near Mountain
Lake Park.
The deceased united with the Church
of the Brethren on October 5, 1878, in
which communion he remained in
membership until the time of his de-
parture.
The deceased was born on the Baker
Homestead, later occupied and yet
owned by John Baker, and was a
farmer with large and varied interests
during the greater part of his life
time, and was also interested in coal
lands and coal operations near Boyn-
ton and afterwards at Masontown,
Pa, later in life.
The writer recalls him first as a
farmer on the farm now owned by
Russell Hollada, south of Grantsville;
later, after the death of his father-in-
law, the late Henry Miller, he bought
and occupied part of that farm located
about three miles west of Grantsville,
which, some time in the nineties he
sold to the late Mr.. Shaw, former
manager of the well-known Stone
House farm, and from that time his
activities were transferred to Penn
sylvania.
Mr.. Baker was a man of considera-
BILE ability of achievement in his chos-
en- vocations, man of results rather
than Of words; of an unassuming ma
ture, who, when his own business ac-
tivities were under discussion usually
spoke of them in uniquely dispar-
