Mr. Baker came to Iowa City in the spring of 1857, and in October of the same year married miss Mary Langenberg, his second wife, who died in 1871, leaving him four children. He afterwards married Mrs. Jacob Holz, who survives him. Four sisters and a brother of Mr. Baker still live in Pennsylvania. He was one among the active and enterprising business men of this city. Almost twenty years ago he was engaged in the pottery business with the late Adam Ohnhaus, but on the decline of this trade he became a grocer and gradually built up a large and profitable business. Recently he erected the fine building on Market and Gilbert streets known as 'Baker's Hall.' He was a faithful and consistent christian, a member of St. Mary's church, and during his entire life in Iowa City actively identified with its interests. He sought little publicity in political affairs and with difficulty was prevailed upon to accept a single term in the city council, the only public office, so far as we can learn, he ever had. Non the less he was a good citizen, and all the memories of his life are pleasant and grateful.
