| Excerpt from History of Hancock County Cass Township 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, 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 Townhip in the fall of 1883, which he stillholds. He resides on the old homestead, his mother, who is still living, being with him. |
