Pioneer Business Mans

by Bishop Gribbin;
Interment Here

Arthur F. Baker, pioneer bust.
ness man and photographer OF
Hendersonville, died midnight Sat
urday, Jan. II, at his apartment
on the second floor of Bakers Art
Gallery building following an Ill
ness of a week.
Mr.. Baker came to Henderson
vile and began business on May
/, 1884, and had been active in
business here from that date: He
was born at Tunbridge Wells,
England, in 1857. He left Eng
land on account of poor health IN
1883 and sailed to New York.
He came directly to North Caro-
lima from New York where he met
his brothers. He travelled through
several states for about a year
and then came to Hendersonvllle.
He rented a photograph gallery
from f. G. Hart. This was at the
corner of First avenue and Main
street. Later he moved up the
street to the corner of Fourth
avnue and Main street. and still
later to the present site of the
Bakers Art Gallery, at the cor
ner Of Sixth avenue and Main
street.
One of the first sights he saw
in this county was the steamboat,
The Mountain Lily, which Colonel
Pickens had built on the French
Broad, and which was stranded on
a mud bank on it's maiden voyage.
When Mr.. Baker first came to
Hendersonville the railroad had
not been built between here and
Asheville and there was a daily
stage coach from Asheville and
one train each way from Spartan
burg daily. ....-.....-.-....-.,
{ For more than so years he
made photographs of people and
scenes in this section and the col
lection of negatives is probably
without question the largest and
finest in this state. Recently, on
the 5Oth anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the business, pictures
were made from several hundred
old negatives and displayed.
Mr.. Baker is survived by his
sister, Mrs. Evelyn Baker Wicker
of this city, another sister, Mrs;
