Read More	Daniel Baker, one of the leading farmers and representative citizens of Washington township, was born February 21, 1848, in Whitley county, Indiana, the third of a family of five children, whose parents were Jonas and Maria (Haines) Baker. Jonas Baker was a native of Stark county, Ohio, where he lived until of legal age, when he came to Whitley county, Indiana, and located in what is now Washington township, of which he was one of the first permanent settlers, his arrival being some time in the thirties. He bought land, cleared and otherwise improved a good farm and became a substantial and praiseworthy citizen, dying on the place which he redeemed from the wilderness in the year 1892. His[Jonas Baker] oldest child, a daughter by the name of Elizabeth, married Joseph Mullendore, a farmer of this county: Mary A., the second in order of birth, became the wife of David Shoemaker, and at the present time lives on a farm in the state of Kansas. Mary J. is deceased, and Frank P. Baker, the youngest of the family, lives on a farm in Washington township adjoining that of the subject. Jonas Baker was a man of excellent parts, successful in his business affairs and at one time was the owner of five hundred acres of valuable real estate in the county of Whitley. He served several terms as trustee of Washington township, was keenly interested in all enterprises for the benefit of the public and stood high in the esteem and confidence of his fellowmen. Daniel Baker first saw the light of day on the family homestead in the township of Washington, grew to maturity in close touch with farm labor and in the public schools received a fair English education. He has devoted his life to agricultural pursuits and is now the owner of a splendid farm of one hundred and sixty acres, all but twenty in cultivation, and his improvements are among the best in the county, the land being well drained, the buildings modern and in excellent repair, everything on the place indicating the interest and progressive spirit of the proprietor, who has long enjoyed high standing among the representative agriculturists and stock raisers in this part of the state. Mr. Baker was married in 1873 to Miss Dora, daughter of George Fowler, of this county, and has a family of eight children: Charles married Lettie Liche and is engaged in agricultural pursuits. Harley P. is also a man of family, his wife having formerly been Lulu Clarke. Orpha is the wife of Ottis Plattner, one of Whitley county's successful teachers. Albert G. lives at home and assists in the management of the farm. Cleo and Roy are still members of the home circle. Mr. Baker is a Democrat, but not a politician in the usual acceptance of the term, and he and wife are members of the Baptist church. History of Whitley County, Indiana; by Samuel P.
