(Witness) BioTo the mind of the reviewer and historian there is no life as interesting and so full of a wealth of material as that of the Union veteran, especiallly if he be an individual who has worked his way upward from an humble beginning to become fairly well-to-do in this world's goods. John W. Baker, veteran and retired farmer of Harrison township has done this. In addition he has reared and bequeathed a family to this country of which any many may well be proud. For long and arduous years, John W. Baker marched under the starry flag and fought on Southern battlefields in order that the Union might be saved from dissolution and an inestimable benefit be forever incurred in behalf of struggling mankind in all the world. After the great war was over he again took up another fight; this time the gaining of a lifelihood as a tiller of the soil; he fought this fight to a finish and won, although at times, when he and his good wife were striving to wrest a modest fortune from the Kansas soil the struggle seemed hopeless. The good old American blood in his veins stood him in fine stead, however, and he won in good time to enjoy these later years in comfort and peace, surrounded by the evidences of plenty, which his thrift has made possible in past years.
John Baker, his father, was born in Virginia in 1812; was reared on a Virginia farm and when he became of age he started in the butchering business which he followed until he bought a farm near Columbus, Ohio, where he resided and reared his family until his death in 1895. Virginia (Long) Baker, his wife, was born in 1813 and their marriage took place in 1832. Seven children were born to them, as follows: Marguerite J., Henry, Mrs. Mary A. (Perry) Tucker and James, deceased; John W., subject of this review; Louis Cass, killed at Chickamauga, and Martha, deceased. The mother of these children departed this life in 1870 at her home in Ohio. Both John Baker and wife were devout Methodists.
John W. Baker, with whom this review is directly concerned, was born on a farm in Franklin county, near Columbus, Ohio, November 17, 1843, and was reared on the farm, had little schooling and remained at home until his enlistment in the Union army in 1862. He enrolled for service in the One Hundred and Thirteenth Ohio infantry" Company C, and served for two years and eleven months. He fought in the great battles of Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Buzzard's Roost, and many minor engagements in which his regiment participated, without receiving a single wound. He served faithfully and bravely until his honorable discharge from the service in July, 1865. In 1866 he rented his father's farm in Ohio and farmed it for fifteen years. He then invested his savings in twenty?seven acres adjoining his father's land, which he cultivated for some years and sold out in order to come to the great West and make a new start. He migrated to Kansas in 1886 and rented land near Wetmore, Kans., which he farmed for two years. Another season he rented an adjoining farm and then moved to a quarter section near Goff, for which he paid cash rent for one year and at the end of his rental period purchased the farm. This tract has been his home ever since and he has made many improvements on the place, chief among them being a large and commodious ten?room farm residence and a large frame barn. He has prospered in the years since making his purchase and is well content with what Kansas has given him and his.
While home on a furlough from his army service in the latter part of 1862, Mr. Baker espoused in marriage the sweetheart of his youthful days, and she has been his faithful helpmeet these many years, until her demise in 1911. . Mr. Baker wore his soldier's uniform at the wedding and for nearly fifty years this marriage existed with much happiness and contentment to both husband and wife. Mrs. Mary Baker was born in Franklin county, Ohio, March 11, 1839, and when still a young girl started working as a domestic to gain an independent livelihood for herself. She worked as domestic until twenty years old and then married Joseph Long, who died two years after the marriage. She then went to her father's home and the second marriage resulted. Nine children were born to John W. and Mary Baker, as follows: Oscar, at home and assisting in managing the farm; Mrs. Abbie McDonald, living on a farm in Jackson county, Kansas, mother of seven children; Arnold, at home; Oland, a farmer of Wetmore township, has three children; Mrs. Linda Burgett, Goff, Kans., mother of four children; Mrs. Laura Burgett, living on a farm near Bancroft, Kans., has six sons; two children died in infancy. Mrs. Mary Baker was a daughter of William (born in 1815, died in 1880) and Elmira Harter (born in 1820 in New Hampshire). William Harter was a shoemaker and farmer and was a member of the Dunkard sect which located in the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio. They were the parents of six children, as follows: Hiram, deceased; Mrs. Marv (Harter) (Long) Baker, deceased; George; Mrs. Charity Baker, deceased; David, farmer in Rice county, Kansas; Mrs. Elizabeth Fields, died in Texas, leaving three daughters.
It is a notable fact in the personal history of Mr. Baker that he cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln, while wearing a soldier's uniform. However, he has since embraced the doctrines of the Democratic party and votes the Democratic ticket at election time. He is a member of the United Brethren church and has always striven to live a good, cleanly and industrious life which makes him highly esteemed among his many acquaintances and well wishers who are legion.9 
Death*He died on 14 March 1919 at Goff, Nemaha, Kansas, at age 76; buried at Goff.4,10
