He was born the son of the late John and Abigail (Smith) Baker May 11, 1920 in Sanford and had resided in this area most of his life. He graduated from Midland High School and went to work for Dow Chemical Co., Midland, retiring in 1982 after 44 years of service.

| 4752 | from "The Milford NH Cabinet", 22 Jan 1925 (Wadleigh Memorial Libary at wadleigh.advantage-preservation.com) Early Wednesday morning Mrs. Mary Baker died after an illness of a month, though she had been semi-invalid for some quite a long time. Mrs. Baker was born in town May 5, 1830, daughter of Milton and Saphronia (Trow) McCollum. December 20th, 1860 she was married to Daniel Rose Baker of this town and they lived here until His death in 1879. Since then Mrs. Baker has lived with her sister Mrs. Frances Starrett, and all through her failing health she has been tenderly cared for by her niece, Mrs. Emily Hartshorn. Mrs. Baker was one who interested herself in all good objects connected with the church, of which she was a faithful member, and in the activities of the social life of the church. For many years she was collector for the Home Circle and was untiring in her efforts for anything connected with the society. Mrs. Baker was the oldest person in town and was well-known to everybody. A strange coincidence is the fact that she had lived all these years as a neighbor to the late Mrs Mary Gleason who died just a week ago. Funeral services will be at the home at 2 Saturday afternoon. The only remaining member of the family is a brother, John T. McCallum, and a sister, Mrs. Frances Starrett. | McCollom, Mary E (I16786)

| 4758 | from "The Milford Times", 21 Dec 1901 (Digital Michigan Newpapers at digmichnews.cmich.edu) Seymour H. Baker. The body of Seymour Baker, whose death was noted last week, arrived home Monday and the funeral service was held Tuesday from the home of Joseph Leonard at 10 o'clock from the Highland Station Congregational church at 10:30. The attendance at the service was unusually large. Seymour H. Baker was born in Highland Feb. 27, 1884. His short life was spent in the near vicinity of his birthplace. His illness dates from only three short months ago, when he was stricken with hemorrhage of the lungs. Hoping a change in climate would benefit him, he started for California on the 22nd of October last and went to the home of his brother George, where he died Dec. 9. In the early evening the angel of death quietly entered his room and called him to the heavenly home so quietly that there was not time to say a last good bye to the loving friends left behind. While it was feared by many that his illness would prove to be fatal, the sudden death came as a surprise and shock, even to those nearest to him. His circle of friends was large, and to them, his memory will be that of one of whom no one could speak ill. His loss will be deeply felt not only by his brothers and the sister-who has been to him a mother as well - but by a host of loving friends who sorrow for his untimely death.

He was a son of Captain Silas and Abagail (Hager) Baker, both natives of Massachusetts, his family being of English origin. His education was secured in the common schools and in the Massachusetts academy, where he remained a student for three years. He then engaged in teaching school for several years, and in 1850 came west to this county with the late M.W. Wright, for whom he worked as clerk in a general store in Hampton, for three years. In 1853 he went into partnership with the late H.F. Thomas and built a fine stock of goods. The business continued and prospered until the civil war, when Mr. Baker sold out. In 1852 he was elected justice of the peace of Hampton township and served in that office for thirty years. In 1865 he was elected to the board of supervisors and served for one term. For nearly seventeen years he served as postmaster. For a time he was in partnership, in merchandising, with the late Henry Clark. He continued in active business until 1893 and after that time the business was conducted under the name of L.F. Baker & Sons, S.S. and H.G. Baker being the active members of the firm.

Tow children died in infancy and Marion E. died in 1896. Mr. Baker was a whig before the republican party was formed, and then became an ardent republican and so remained until the time of his death. He was a good citizen, a staunch supporter of the Congregational church of which his late wife was an active and devoted member. Mr. Baker couldn't knowingly do wrong. That was the reputation he had among those who knew him best. His ideals were high and he lived up to them. He fought for what he believed to be right, but his fighting left no sting, because of his charity for the views and the rights of others. He took unto himself only that which he was willing to concede to others. | Baker, Leonard Fiske (I16108)
