• Notes

  from "The Randolph Herald", 11 Mar 1982 (randolph.advantage-preservation.com) RANDOLPH - and "Open House" for Ernie Baker, who is celebrating his 90th birthday, will be held Sunday, March 14th from 2-5 p.m. at his home at 32 Roel St., Randolph. (This is the house Ernie was born in. Originally the house was on Allen St. and was later moved to its present address.) Ernie has been active in The First Congregational Church of Randolph, since 1906. He has spent 76 years with the church choir. Ernie started out at the church pumping the old pipe organ. After a few years of such strenuous exercise he decided he would rather sing in the choir. He sings with the choir's tenor section.
