The Somerset herald. (Somerset, Pa.): June 16, 1880
On Thursday, June 10, at his residence in Somerset township, Joseph Baker, in the
88th year of his age. Mr. Baker lived in this county during most of his life. He was
a soldier of the war of 1812, and participated in the battle of Lundy's Lane and
some of the other bloody conflicts on the Canada border. About forty years ago he
removed from the Stoystown country to Somerset township. In the “good old days" of
big musters and fisticuffs the subject of this notice was discovered by requirers to
be very hard to handle. For many years he has led a moral, industrious life. He
raised a large family. He always claimed to be considerably older than eighty-seven,
but other old citizens state that to be about the figure. A large number of persons
attended the funeral on Sunday morning.
