O. Findlay, was born in Rockingham County, Va., February 8, 1810; son of John and Mary (Dane) Baker, natives of Virginia, who carne to Ohio in 1812 and located in Madison Township, Franklin County, where they remained until 1830, when they removed to this county, settling in Findlay Township, and here passed the remainder of their days. They had nine children, of whom two are now living: Reuben, in Kosciusko County, Ohio, and Aaron. The subject of this sketch was married, January 29. 1833, to Mary Hartley, and by her he had ten children (seven of whom are now living): Tabitha, wife of Joseph Wagoner; Benjamin P.; Perry D.; Hester A., wife of Emory Rice; John W., who was a soldier in the One Hundred and Eighteenth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. Howard, and was killed in a skirmish in Tennessee; Diana, wife of George Sager; Elizabeth, wife of John Sager; Reuben H.; Isaiah M. and Lurie, wife of Mason Bibler. Mr. Baker began his business career one mile and a half northeast of Findlay, Ohio, where he remained for nineteen years. He then sold and afterward purchased the John P. Hamilton farm, which had been entered by Mr. Hamilton during President Monroe's administration. This farm, which is located on the bank of the Blanchard fork, Mr. Baker improved. Our subject is a well-to-do farmer; in politics a stanch Republican.
