Richard, or Dick as he was called; moved to Decatur Co., when he was 8 years old, with his family, with an Ox-team. He worked at home and worked out some. He was married 12/14/1892 in a Double Wedding Ceremony to Hannah Street with her sister, Harriet Street and his brother John Baker. They started their life together on the Fear place southeast of Grand River, later moving to a farm on Elk Creek west of the Center School, until 1901 when they moved to the Pence place southeast of Grand River which they purchased. They farmed there until 1910 when they moved to Grand River to the Binning property, where they lived the rest of their lives. He ran a hardware store and did carpenter work. His. store was destroyed by fire in Dec., 1916. In 1942 they celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with dinner for the family and Open House in the afternoon. All children were present but Pearle. In 1952 they celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary with a turkey.dinner for the family, with all children present but Clarence. They were both members of the Grand River Methodist Church and worked hard in their church. Dick died of old age, at the age of 90 years, on April 16, 1953 at home. Hannah was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star of Grand River since 1922. In April 1953 she received an Adult Life Membership Pin from the Grand River Society. In 1955 a write-up came out in the Des Moines Tribune, of the accomplishments of Hannah in her 83 years of life. She took sick quite suddenly and was hospitalized just 11 days, and passed away September 26,1955 with a growth in the colon. They were both laid to rest in the Grand River Cemetery. The late Ruby Baker Foland published back 1961 a booklet title A Record of Peter and Alice Street and Their Descendants. Within this booklet is commentary on the annual Baker-Street Picnic. It started in 1928 or 1929. Most of the gatherings were held in the Grand River Park across the street from the Dick Baker residence. It is also believed that brothers Dick and John were the instigators of it starting. June 15, 1947 it was actually held on the lawn of the Dick Baker residence (Richard and Hannah Street Baker).
