The Saint Paris News-Dispatch July 1, 1909
Saturday, June 26 was the annual reunion of the remaining children of John and 
Evan BAKER, held at the residence of Daniel Baker of Jackson township, 
Champaign County, O. 
John Baker was born in Virginia in 1806 and when 10 years immigrated "out west" 
and settled in Champaign County, Ohio. He married Eva BRUNER and they lived in 
Jackson township the remaider of their lives, both living to be over 90 years 
of age.
Into this union 10 children were born, 4 of whom have gone on to the great 
beyond. The remaining 6, William, Daniel and Lemuel Baker, Mrs. Margaret 
STOVER, Mrs. Hamilton STEVENS, Mrs John LEATHLEY and descendants constitute the 
family which annually enjoy these reunions. 
The above named brothers and sisters together with a large number of sons and 
daughters, nephews and neices, neighbors and friends, constituted the crowd 
that enjoyed the day. 
Rev. Isaac PENCE was present a short time after dinner and made a few 
appropriate remarks, emphasizing the importance of these family reunions. 
The day was spent in social chat by the older folks and by hide-go-seek and 
music by the young folks. The camera was present and played its usual important 
role. 
The next reunion will be held at the home of Hamilton Stevens of Sugar Grove in 
June 1910.  All the descendants of John and Eva Baker are cordially invited.
