Author: Warner & Beers (1886)

   JOHN BAKER, farmer, P. O. Arcadia, was born in Cass Township, this county, in
1847; son of Alexander and Catharine (Eckert) Baker, natives of Ohio. The
original Baker stock came to America from England in an early day and settled
near Baltimore. Md. Grafton Baker, grandfather of our subject, moved from
Virginia to Carroll County. Ohio, and from there to this county about the year
1830. He had a family of five sons and one daughter. Mrs. Catharine (Eckert)
Baker's people came to Cass Township, this county, from Fairfield County. Ohio,
in an early day, and here settled. In 1844, after their marriage, our subject's
parents came to Cass Township. The father died in 1849, leaving a family of
three children—two daughters and one son, John. The eldest daughter died in
1866; the youngest married G. W. Norris (they have a family of two sons and one
daughter). The subject of this sketch was married in 1868 to Sarah C. Binger,
whose parents came to this county from Carroll County. Ohio, in an early day,
and to this union have been born three children: Alexander, Lemuel and Amanda.
Mr. Baker was elected to the office of justice of the peace for Cass Township in
the fall of 1883, which he still holds. He resides on the old homestead, his
mother, who is still living, being with him.
