When John was a baby they moved to Decatur County where he grew up and helped farm. On December 14, 1892 he married Harriet Jane Street. She was born December 14, 1873, in Delaware County, Iowa, and moved to Decatur County in 1882 with her father and mother, Peter Street and Alice (Weston) Street, and six other children. In 1893 John Baker bought an 80 acre farm from his father and built a set of improvements. In 1900 he bought an additional 100 acres which was made a general livestock farm. He and Harriet had five children: Helen (Baker) Van Laar, Sherman, Ralph, Frank, and Hazel (Baker) Tuttle. In 1910 the family moved to Plain View, South Dakota, and homesteaded 160 acres, moving back to their Decatur County farm in late 1911 where they lived until 1918 when Harriet died from the Spanish flu. She was laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. John stayed on the farm until 1920 and then moved to Grand River. In 1923 he married Mary (Sears) Keir who was born in 1890. She had one child, Mildred. They moved to California and lived in Culver, City, San Bernardino, and Hanford. John died there in his ninetieth year and was laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. Transcription for IAGenWeb.org, Decatur County Leon Reporter, Leon, Iowa Thursday, June 7, l923 It so happened that JOHN BAKER and MRS. MARY KIER took a notion Wednesday of last week to slip off and get married, which they did. They drove up to Indianola where resides that Prince of Methodist Minister, Rev. Hamilton and had the knot tied in the good old style of "Better or worser," as the old colored minister said. But nonsense aside, there never was a contract made between people of this cummunity that just seems to suit the whole bunch as this one does. They are now living in Grand River and we all hope they will always be with us, as few better folks exist. The Local wishes them prosperity and happiness and a life.
