County, CA

Transcription:
Baker's Mountain -- Dunlap Cemetery -- Arriving in Fresno County in 1870, 
Sands Baker purchased a quarter section of land at the base of what became 
Baker's Mountain.  Baker continually added to this tract until he had about 
2,000 acres.  Baker was prominent in the mountain community.  He was a prime 
mover in opening the road from Sand Creek, which proved to be a boon to the 
foothill settlers.  He also served on the Fresno County Board of Education.  
Baker died on April 13, 1918 and is buried here in the few acres he set aside 
before 1900.
