Her mother tragically died two years later in February 1865 after the birth of another daughter. America ("Mecca") was raised by her father, step-mother, grandparents and extended family in Wabash, Indiana. She matriculated through the Wabash City Schools and studied at St. Mary's of the Woods Academy for Girls near Terre Haute, Indiana 1879-1881. America ("Mecca") was married in Platteville, Weld Co., Colorado on August 27, 1884 to Daniel Ayres Baker, also of Wabash County, Indiana.

Daniel died in 1929 and America then moved to sunny Southern California where four of her children had relocated with their families. America was much loved by her children, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a talented cook and seamstress. A beautiful, double-wedding ring pattern quilt made by America and her daughter, Allena Baker Earnest, in 1932 now graces the bed in the master bedroom in the Dr. James Ford Historic Home in Wabash.
