Peter Baker Son of Joseph Baker Junr & Sarah Baker his Wife born September ye 5th 1755.

From Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution
BAKER, PETER, Littleton. Return of men enlisted into Continental Army from Capt. Aaron Jewett's (3d) co., Col. Jonathan Reed's (6th Middlesex Co.) regt,. dated FEb. 19, 1778; joined Capt. Samuel Darby's (2d) co., Col. John Bailey's regt.; enlistment, 3 years or during war; also, Private, Col.

Peter Baker was not a typical 1800 century individual. He served in the Revolutionary War, possibly wintering in Valley Forge (very noble). However, he apparently bailed on Lydia and the children in 1800 (not so noble). Lydia remarried four years later. One account refers to her as being a widow. Peter, however, reappears in 1818 in the town of his daughter Sarah where he died a poor man (serves him right). Peter and Lydia's children were apparently raised by a variety of others and scattered across New England and the frontier of New York. They and their children become quite successful.
From Pension File Peter states he was part of:
1. Taking of Burgoyne (17th October 1777)
2. Wintering in Valley Forge (19 Dec 1777 to 19 Jun 1778)
3. Battle of Monmouth (June 28, 1778)

Peter married Lydia Dudley on 14 Nov 1783 in Littleton, Middlesex, MA. Lydia (daughter of Stephen Dudley and Lydia Harwood) was born on 11 Aug 1762 in New Ipswich, Hillsborough, NH; died on 9 Sep 1815. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

When at about this time one Asa Baker fell into the river and was drowned, his body was quickly recovered and O. B. Herrick, who was at that time Coroner of the County, immediately empaneled a jury that rendered the following verdict: "Asa Baker, on the 20th day of April, 1851, at about eight o'clock in the evening, casually fell into the Seneca River and then and there casually, accidentally, and by misfortune, was drowned."

Houston, Texas, July 15, 1887
DEAR SIR:-I have your favor of the ll th inst, in whioh you say, "We are going to erect a monument on the village square, and we are going to put on the names of the soldiers who were in the wars as described in the circular." There was no circular accompanying and therefore I am not informed as to which wars were included in the inquiry; but presume that the main wars with foreign countries, and especially with England, were intended. My father, Asa Baker, served during the war of 1812, three years, and at the close was. a captain. I have among my papers his commission as 1st lieutenant in Capt. Morrell's company of 31st Regiment U. 8. infantry. He used to tell me that he was in the battle of Plattsburgh, and in several hotter places than that in Canada, where his company was engaged several times in shirmishing, that resulted in hand to hand fights.
If the men of 1812 are to be remembered on your monument, I will contribute a small sum towards its erection. It is fifty years the 8d day of this July since I left Baldwinsville to hunt my fortune. I suppose but few remain there now that I knew or ever knew me. To all who do, however, remember those days, I have a warm corner in my heart, and for the home
of my birth and boyhood.
Very Sincerely,
William R Baker

He was subject to attacks of mental aberration, and has been an inmate of the Asylum before.

LARKIN BARKER was born in this town September 17, 1795, and remained until his decease, February 2, 1872. For many years his counsel was sought from far and near upon all legal matters. Possessed of a tenacious memory, an aptness for scholarship, he soon took a prominent place in both town and county. He held the commission of justice of the peace during nearly the whole of his business career, and transacted nearly all the business of the town in this line. He was assistant judge of the Court of Common Pleas seven years, judge of Probate for Cheshire County twenty-two years, resigning in 1864 by reason of poor health, and held, at different times, all the offices within the gift of his native town.

In early life he was left without the care and counsel of a father. He acquired his education in the primary schools and in the academy at Chesterfield. He afterward taught school several years. He held for a few years a Captain's and Major's commission. In 1822 he was married to Celina Cobb, daughter of Gen. Simeon Cobb of Westmoreland. There were born to them nine children, four sons and five daughters. He devoted several years to agricultural and a few years to mercantile pursuits, assisting Gen. Cobb in the transaction of his business in its various branches. His wife with whom he had lived thirty years, died Oct. 4, 1852, age 50 years. He married his second wife, widow Sarah Wier, March 2, 1855. He faithfully served the town for many years in the capapcity of Justice of the Peace, Town Clerk and Selectman; he also represent the town two years in the General Court. He held the commission of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas nine years for Cheshire County and Judge of Probate over twenty-two years, which latter office he resigned by reason of ill health at the age of 69 years, after which he was admitted to the Bar under the Statute.He was ever ready to impart information to all who sought his counsel. In him the widow and the fatherless ever found a true and faithful friend, a wise and fatherly counsellor whose memory will be gratefully cherished by the people of the town and county whose interest he so long and so faithfully served. He was - to use the language of a near neighbor - "perfectly honest" - than which, there can be no higher social virtue; and of whom it may be justly said, "Good and faithful servant." All that love and affectin cound do was done for him by his dear wife and dutifull children and his kind and attentive neighbors. A wife, two sons and one daughter survive to mourn their irreparable loss. For nearly fifty years he ws ,until recently, an active and influential member of the Congregational church whose interests we was ever zealous to promote. May people from this and other towns were present at the funeral services to testify their respect for him whos memory they gratefully cherish and to sympathize with bereaved friedns. An appreciative audience listened with respectful attention to a discourse by the writer from Gen. 5:24.

Larkin Coles became a Millerite preacher-physician who advocated good health practices. He wrote two books, "Philosophy of Health: Natural Principles of Health and Cure" and "The Beauties and Deformities of Tobacco-Using". Larkin is forever tied to Ellen White, a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, who stand accused of plagarizing a good deal of his work. In his books Larkin showed great foresight to today's medicine in that he advocated fresh air, exercise, a vegetarian diet, non-use of stimulants, reform in dress, sexual purity, and drugless medicine. He, of course, died at a relatively young age of 52, ten years before the death of his parents.

Larkin married Sarah Marshall Dyar on 3 Mar 1827 in Middlebury, Addison, VT. Sarah (daughter of Jeremiah Dyar and Susanna Wild) was born on 2 Feb 1800 in Boston, Suffolk, MA; died on 22 Apr 1858 in Syracuse, Onondaga, NY; was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hon. W. R. Baker, son of Asa Baker, and in early life a resident of this village, died suddenly at his home in Houston, Texas, April 80th, of paralysis, in the 70th year of his age. Deceased was a cousin of E. M. Robinson, of this village. He was a man of unusual business capacity and had won a place in the hearts of his fellow citizens that caused universal mourning at his sudden death. Of a kindly and generous disposition, his was always a helping hand in times of need. When the committee here was seeking contributions for the erection of the soldiers' monument, Mr. Baker sent them $50 as a reminder that he still felt an interest in his boyhood's home. He is kindly remembered by many of our people, who sincerely mourn his departure. Editorially the Honston Post has these kind words for him: "Houston lost one of its best men and citizens yesterday when the generous spirit of William Robinson Baker took its flight from earth. Mr. Baker in many respects was a remarkable man. He had neared the allotted three-score-and-ten, and yet op to the very moment that be was stricken, on Tuesday night, was regarded as a perfect specimen of physical development and preservation. He was on the streets Tuesday afternoon, apparently in his usual good health, and those who saw him had no kind of intimation of the approaching, end. Mr. Baker's life has been an unusually busy one. Beginning life a poor young man, by indomitable energy, perseverance and business tact he accumulated a handsome fortune. He was among tne pioneers of Texas, and some of the grand enterprises of the State are indebted in part to his fine judgment-and business energy for their success. The growth and progress of Houston have been materially aided by his enterprise and liberality, and the Post can think of no other man to whom the city is more indebted in this respect. During several years past he lost a great deal of money in bad speculations, but, when payingdebts that he was not morally at least responsible for, never complained. In this respect he was a philosopher, and took the world about as he found it, Mr. Baker was a man of generous disposition; he rarely if ever treasured up a personal in jury. He was liberal hearted in the extreme; his gifts in charity, though done quietly and without ostentation, amounted to thousands during the course of a year and many poor people in Houston will miss and sincerely mourn him. As a friend he was true as steel, devoted, always faithful; he was not, strictly speaking, a church man - that is, he was not connected with any religious denomination - his religion appearing to be friendship and charity. As an exponent of these two noblest attributes he was a shining example. The city of Houston will sincerely mourn his sad death, while hundreds of friends throughout Texas will join the Post in tendering condolence to to the bereaved relatives."

DEATH OF WM. R. BAKER
ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS OF HOUSTON GONE
A Blow that Will Be Severely Felt - He Expires After a Brief Illness- Sketch of R's Long, Useful and Hononable Life.
HOUSTON, Tex., April 30 - This evening at 7:00 o'clock Houston sustained a loss that cannot be repaired in the death of Hon. Wm. Robinson Baker, one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. It was a shock to the entire community, and when generally know will cause perhps more sorrow than the death of any other one man. He seemed in perfect health yesterday afternoon and evening. He was at the game of base-ball, of which sport he was very fond, between Houston and Galveston, and last evening participated in a card party at the home of his sister, Mrs. Clarke, where he was attacked with paralysis a little after 10 o'clock, and was at once conveyed to this home, where Dr. Perl attended him. Mr. Baker himself did not seem to regard his condition as dangerous and was rational at 4 o'clock this morning for short time, after which he seemed to suffer a renewed stroke and never recovered consciousness. Everything that the best medical skill could suggest was done, but of no avail. It was the second or third time he had been attacked by paralysis, and hence a much greater apprehension prevailed than he himself seemed to feel.

William married Hester Eleanor Runnels on 15 Dec 1845 in Houston, Harris, TX. Hester (daughter of Hosea R Runnels and Lucy Jackson) was born on 22 May 1825 in Monticello, Lawrence, MS; died on 14 Feb 1880 in Houston, Harris, TX; was buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Houston, TX.

THE COURT HOUSE THRONGED WITH WOMEN MONDAY
...There has been some rivalry among the young women over who should have the honor of issuing a certificate to the eldest one on the honor roll. While the young women were busy, the tax collector, A.R. Miller, who is also a busy man, show Mrs. Harriet M. Szabo, mother of the wife of Judge Charles E. Ashe, awaiting her turn.

Szabo is 84 years of age, lives at 1103 Dallas street, has lived in this one place for more than 64 years, and will on July 27 vote at Precinct 9.

BAKER - At his late residence in the town of Cambria, Omar Baker, age 45 years, 10 months and 21 days. Funeral from the last residence, Wednesday, Dec. 21st, at 11 o'clock A.M

from "The Lockport Daily Journal", 15 Jan 1885 (fultonhistory.com)
In Cambria, on Dec. 28th, 1884 occured the death of Mr. Omar Baker. Mr. Baker was born in Cambria, Feb. 8th, 1839, and was consequently in the 46th year of his age. He spent his entire life on the farm where he died. He was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew him, and there was none to speak ill of him. He had held various positions of trust in his native town, and was always found faithful. His affection for his family, all of whom survive him, was peculiarly strong, and he was untiring in his efforts for their welfare. His constitution, never rugged, was undermined by disease of the heart, to which he was compelled at last to succumb. For four months he was confined to his room and a large part of the time his sufferings were intense. When a young man he consecrated himself to God's service, and his manhood was a Christian manhood, so that in the presence of death he could say and did say "I know in whom I have believed," and his end was peace. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord:. - Rev. 14:13.

Omar married Maria Longshore on 20 Dec 1865 in Cambria, Niagara, NY. Maria (daughter of Orville W Longshore and Fanny H Smith) was born in 1846 in Lockport, Niagara, NY; died on 26 Nov 1927 in Erie, Erie, PA; was buried on 29 Nov 1927 in Hillside Cemetery, Cambria, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Day, Charles B., for many years at the head of the large wholesale and retail dry-goods firm of Day Bros. & Co., of Peoria, Ill., was born in Chesterfield, N.H., in 1821, where he joined the Baptist church in 1850. The next year he removed to Brimfield, Ill., where he found a small Baptist church, to which, to its great joy, he immediately joined himself, though assured that such an alliance would not be favorable to business. In 1860 he removed to Peoria, and became a member of the First church there, and continues one of its main supporters. Though not a man of fluent speech, he has always been regular in his attendance upon church appointments, and has ever been liberal in his contributions. He has also paid considerable sums to Christian education, in which cause his interest is intelligent and constant. He is well known in the State as a successful business man, a firm Baptist, an uncompromising friend of temperance.

Day, Larkin B. was born in Chesterfield, N.H., in December, 1831. Removing to Bromfield, Ill., in 1852, he was there converted and baptized; but in 1854 his residence having been changed to Peoria, he became a member of the First church there, Rev. H.G Weston being the pastor. Although as a member of the firm of Day Brothers he has found the claims of business pressing, he has always found time to give needed attention to higher concerns. As a friend and leader of the young people in the church, as a free and cheerful participant in prayer and social meetings, as an occasional occupant of the pulpit, as a lay preacher, and as an ardent friend of the temperance cause, alike in private and in official positions, Larkin B. Day is held in high appreciation by the citizens of Peoria and throughout the State. He is at present (1880) a member of the city council

Members of a Bankrupt Miwaukee Firm Arrested
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 26. - [Special] - A few weeks ago the wholesale and retail carpet house of L.B. Day & Co., this city, made a bad failure, as reported in these dispatches at the time. Something of a sensation has been caused today by the fact that late yesterday afternoon John D. Van Nuys and Walter S. Hamilton, members of the firm, were arrested by Deputy United State Marshal Marshall, on a order of arrest issued by Judge Dyer. This morning the same officer arrested Larkin B. Day, the senior member of the firm. The arrests were all made on the affidavits of Andrew Wright, a member of the firm of W.&J. Sloane, of New York, who charges the members of the firm with wrongfully converting property of the plaintiffs to their own use and of obtaining goods under false pretenses. The parties arrested were allowed to give bail in the sum of $2,500 each. Charles L. Day, the junior member of the firm, is in Minneapolis, and therefore was not arrested. The news of the arrest did not leak out until this afternoon. This firm failed a few weeks ago for about $70,000. Larkein B. Day, after having consulted his attorney, said: "We are not to be tried in the newspapers, but will meet the charges when the proper time arrives. The arrest affects, I believe, only the individual members of the firm responsible for the amount claimed, but does not attack the title of the Receiver who was appointed last month."

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 13 - [Special] - Mr. Larkin B. Day, senior partner of the carpet-house of L.B. Day & Co., which failed a short time ago, died suddenly of apoplexy today, aged 53.

OSWEGO's SINGULAR CASE
James N. Baker died at Oswego on Saturday. He was to have been buried yesterday. Mr. Baker, when alive, frequently conversed with his wife about the horrors of being buried alive, and expressed fears that he himself should be so buried. Yesterday, although he had been apparently dead for two days, his lips and face retained a bright pink color, which indicated that there might still be life, although the body was rigid. A doctor pricked the body to several places, but no blood appeared. It was, however, thought best to postpone the burial.

James married Katherine Cotter Taylor in 1863 in Oswego, Oswego, NY. Katherine (daughter of Samuel Reynolds Taylor and Margaret Sinclair) was born on 24 Mar 1840 in Oriskany, Oneida, New York; died on 16 Jan 1926 in Chicago, Cook, IL; was buried in Oswego, Oswego, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From "The Joliet Signal", 7 Feb 1865 (genealogybank.com)
It is with deep regret that we record, on our present issue, the sudden and unexpected decease, on the 27th ult., of Mrs. Kate Baker Day, wife of Albert H. Day, Esq., one the the most esteemed our fellow-citizens, and daughter of Hon. A.S. Baker, of Middleport, NY. For a short time previously her health had been somewhat delicate, although not so seriously affected as to awaken apprehensions. With their medical adviser, Mr. and Mrs. Day had reason to anticipate her speedy recovery; and , if external appearance could have been trusted, both might have looked forward to many years of enjoyment in the bosom of their amiable and interesting family. But heaven had otherwise ordained; and the the morning of the 27th ult. her pure and gentle spirit bade farewell to the joys of earth for those which await the good in another and better world. The funeral services took place last Sabbath P.M. at the First Congregational church, in presence of a large and deeply affected audience.

HER HUSBAND WAS FOUNDER OF JOURNAL
Mrs. Smith Oldest Member of First Presbyterian Church At Time of Death. Mrs. Charlotte Coles Smith, 82, widow of Silas F. Smith, founder of the Syracuse Journal, who was the oldest living member of the First Presbyterian Church, died Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George A. Gates, of Grinnell, Iowa. From the time of her marriage in Boston to Mr. Smith, she was a continuous resident of Syracuse, until the death of her husband in April, 1899. Since that time she has made her home with Mrs. Gates, first at Grinnell, Iowa, where Dr. Gates was president of Grinnell College, then at Colorado Springs, Col., Cheyenne, Wyo., and Claremont, Cal., during Dr. Gates’ pastorates in those cities, later at Nashville, Tenn., during Dr. Gates’ presidency of Fiske University, and during the past two years in Florida and Vermont. After the death of Dr. Gates in Florida seven weeks ago, Mrs. Smith went to Grinnell with the family for the burial, and contracted catarrhal bronchitis from which she never recovered.Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Dr. Larkin B. Coles of Boston, a prominent physician and author of “The Philosophy of Health.” She was born in Lowell, Mass., Feb. 18, 1831. She was educated in Charlestown Female Seminary and in 1851 married Silas F. Smith.

WORKED FOR SOLDIERS.
At the beginning of the Civil War, she became secretary of the Ladies Aid of Syracuse, an organization that for four years devoted their efforts to the soldiers in the field, forwarding lint, clothing and medicine. She was also one of the founders of the Social Arts Club of Syracuse and a life-long worker in the various activities of the First Presbyterian Church. During the many years of Mr. Smith’s active life as newspaper man and in business the family home in James st. was the center of many social activities and after relinquishing her permanent residence in Syracuse she retained her interest in the city, revisiting her home many times; her last visit being in the summer of 1911.

LEAVES TWO CHILDREN.
She is survived by one son, Stanley Smith of Syracuse, and a daughter, Mrs. Isabelle Smith Gates of Grinnell, Ia. There also survives the following grandchildren: The Rev. Henry Didama Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Bainbridge, N. Y.; Mrs. Charlotte Smith Worsing, Mrs. Amelia Niven Burrows and Theodora Smith, all of Syracuse; Stanley Gates of Chicago, and Donald Smith Gates, a student in Grinnell College.

The funeral will be held from the home of her son, Stanley G. Smith, 800 University av., Wednesday at 2 o’clock. Friends are invited. Burial at Oakwood will be private.

The many friends of the family here and in other parts of the state will be deeply pained to hear of the death of Mrs. Mary Bagby Richardson, which took place last night at 10 o'clock at the family residence on Bagby street, this city. She had been ill many months, and death came to her so gently that it seemed the coming of a friend to release her of this world's sufferings and for them exchange the bliss of eternal life. A crown of everlasting glory for the pains of a few days in this world of sorrow. Death relieved her in the 30th year of her life, and her sweet spirit passed as quietly away as though her eyes ad closed in gentle sleep. Almost to the
last moment she was conscious, and calmly bidding farewell to loved ones whose hearts bled with sorrow at her bedside, a gentle smile brightened upon her face. She was the daughter of Mrs. T. M. Bagby, was born and raised here, and leaves a mother and five sisters. Mrs, A. B. Richardson, Mrs. F. C. Usher, Mrs. W. J. Hancock, Mrs. R. E. Tankersley and Miss Bessie B.

from "The New Haven Register", 21 Nov 1888 (genealogybank.com)
THE BRAKEMAN KILLER.
THIS TIME A WEST HAVEN BRIDGE.
The Victim Had Been Breaking on the Road Only One Week - The Accident Happens in Daylight and at the Point Where There Was No Curve to Hide the Bridge.
Just one week ago to-day Fred E. Baker went breading on a freight train of the New York Road. This morning he was removed to the hospital with a skull crushed and with so little vitality left that the surgeons, after looking at the wounds, said he bad but few hours to live. Baker was returning to New Haven on Conductor L.A. Morey's freight train that arrived in this city between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning. He was seen on the roof of a box car about the time that the train was approaching the west Haven station. When next the crew of the train looked toward that particular car Baker could not be seen. The train had then passed under the West Haven bridge. An investigation as to why he was not visible led to the discovery of the brakeman lying unconscious on the top of the car. It was stated to-day that he was very near the edge of the car roof when found, and that the train could not have proceeded much further before its motion would have jolted Baker from the car. There was a fearful gash in the man's forehead and blood covered his face. At the hospital it was said at noon to-day the man was only just alive. He recovered consciousness long enough to five his name to the hospital officials, to say that his age was about 27 and that his father was a resident of Indianapolis. A letter was found in his pocket signed "Alice M. Somers." This person is supposed to be his sister. It was written from Romeo, Mich., on November 1. Baker had worked on western roads before he came to New Haven. The railroad men regard the fatality as being somewhat singular. If it had occurred in the night time, when darkness hides these bridges from the view of brakemen, there would not be so much surprise to hear that he had been struck by the bridge. But it was broad daylight, and there is no curve in the route at this point to shut our the bridge from view when Baker's head came into collision with it. in all probability Baker's mind for the moment was diverted form the danger he was approaching and he was thinking of something else, forgetting the while that he was on top of the box car. Baker was still alive at 3 o'clock, but it was stated the hospital that he was likely to die at any moment.

Notes:

From Landmarks of Orleans County, New York by Isaac Smith Signor, Henry Perry Smith
Baker, Everett M., D. D. S.. was born in Cambria, Niagara county April 7, 1855. He was educated in Lockport Union School and the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he graduated in 1877. In that year he came to Medina, established an office and enjoys a large practice. Dr. Baker is a prominent mason and is master of Lodge 336, Medina. He is also a member of the Eighth District Dental Society. In 1877 Dr. Baker married Helen Hill, and they have children, Ethel, Harold Jay, and Ralph Alden. Dr. Baker's father was Alden D. Baker, and his mother Eliza A Blackmer.

From The Dental Cosmos by By J. D. White, John Hugh McQuillen, George Jacob Ziegler, James William White, Edward Cameron Kirk, Lovick Pierce Anthony, Published by S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Co., 1896
DR. EVERETT M. BAKER, DIED, in Medina, Orleans Co., N. Y., February 3, 1896, of pneumonia, Dr. EVERETT MILFOLD BAKER, aged forty-one years. Dr. Baker was born in the town of Cambria, Niagara county, N. Y., April 7, 1855. In early life he evinced a fondness for study and developed correct and exemplary habits. Upon leaving the district school he entered the Lockport Union School, where he finished his preliminary education. Having early chosen dentistry as his life work, he entered the dental office of Drs. Balcom & Dickinson, in Lockport, for a term of years, subsequently completing his preparation for practice by attending the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he graduated in the spring of 1877. The same year Dr. Baker opened an office in Medina, where by his industry and skill, added to a pure and blameless life, he came into possession of a large and lucrative practice.
He was a member of the Eighth District Dental Society, and at the time of his death its corresponding secretary. He commanded the respect and esteem of his fellow-associates for his manly and courteous bearing, as well as for his interest in the affairs of the society.
In the community in which he lived he was identified with religious, social, charitable, and fraternal organizations in which his public spirit and interest in the welfare of his fellow-men was strongly manifested. He was an officer in the Presbyterian Church, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Masonic Lodge.
Dr. Baker leaves a widow, with one daughter and two sons.



At 5 pm suffering from a severe cold, he reluctantly canceled engagements with his patients,when he was (?)...(?) and pneumonia developed, (?) falally, after less than a week's sickness.
In the death of Dr. Baker our village losses one of its noblest and best citizens. No one was more universally beloved and esteemed, and few are the men with friends so numerous as our deceased brother. Never have we had the pleasure of the friedship of one who came nearer to the ideal manhood we all aspire to, but so few attain, as was exemplified in the person of Dr. Everett M. Baker. His demise will be most keenly felt, not only by the afflicted family, but by a wide circle of friends, and there will be a void in every relation of life in which he was wont to mingle.

Everett married Helen Adelia Hill on 19 Sep 1877. Helen (daughter of Robert Lloyd Hill and Adelia Augusta Wood) was born on 26 Dec 1854 in Medina, Orleans, NY; died on 12 May 1923 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, OK; was buried in Boxwood Cemetery, Medina, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from The Sun and Erie County Independent", 9 Dec 1920 (newspapers.com)
The morning of Wednesday, December 1, 1920, our community was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Fred W. Baker, owner of a large farm one and a half miles from this village on the state road. Mr. Baker with his neighbor, Oscar Kraft, on account of the coal famine in this town, felt it necessary to go to the woods to fell some trees for fire. The first tree they began to work on was a large beech that stood on a bank, they had sawed and wedged it until it was about to topple over, and each man ran for a place of safety but it was thought Mr. Baker must have miscalculated as the tree fell directly on him, knocking him down and killing him instantly. Mr. Kraft ran for assistance but it was one half mile to the home of Clyde Horton, the nearest neighbor. All nearby men were notified and hurried to the spot where the body laid. By means of props and screw jacks the fallen tree was raised and Mr. Baker's body was carefully taken out, placed in a wagon and carried to his home. The medical examiner came three hours later and issued a certificate of accidental death. Mr. Baker was born and his younger days were spent in Niagara County, he came to this village 22 years ago, for the first three years he leased a farm but in 1903 he purchased the farm where he has since resided, of Valda Canfield, of Buffalo. He was in an esteemed citizen, possessed a genteel disposition, was kind and thoughtful to everyone, especially to his bereaved wife, who has been in delicate health for a number of years. His loss is deeply felt in this community. Other survivors are a daughter, Mrs Zuick of Erie, Pa., a son and two brothers in and near Lockport, also Three Sisters, Mrs. LaBar, Buffalo, Mrs. Frank Richardson of North Collins and Mrs E. Walters of Lockport. Funeral services were held at the family home Friday, December 3d, at 11 o'clock, Rev. John Calvin of the Baptist Church, officiated. Internment was at Cambria Center, Niagara county at 4 p.m. Many old time friends and relatives attended the burial.

Fred married Maria Longshore in 1898. Maria (daughter of Orville W Longshore and Fanny H Smith) was born in 1846 in Lockport, Niagara, NY; died on 26 Nov 1927 in Erie, Erie, PA; was buried on 29 Nov 1927 in Hillside Cemetery, Cambria, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From History of Rockford and Winnebago County, Illinois
From the First Settlement in 1834 to the Civil War by CHARLES A. CHURCH
To Dr. Kerr belongs the honor of preaching the first war sermon in Rockford after the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Sunday morning the news came that President Lincoln had issued a call for seventy -five thousand men. It was one of those critical moments in the nation's life. Under its solemn inspiration, Dr. Kerr preached an impressive patriotic discourse in the afternoon in the First church, and for the first time in local history the American flag was displayed from the pulpit. Dr. Kerr preached the first funeral discourse over a dead soldier, a brother of Lucius Day, whose remains had been returned to Rockford for burial. These memorial services were held in the street in front of the old court house.

DEATH OF LUCIUS B. DAY
Member of an Old Peoria County Family Passes Away at Brimfield
From the effects of a stroke of paralysis, which came on Tuesday, Lucius B. Day, a representative of one of the oldest of Peoria county families, passed away yesterday afternoon at his home in Brimfield. At the time of his death Mr. Day was 66 years of age and was the son of John B. Day, who for a number of years was a member of the dry goods fIrm of Day Bros., who were among the first to engage in the retail and wholesale dry goods business in this city. The tastes of Lucius B. Day were agricultural rather than commercial, and he lived for the greater part of his life on the old homestead on which he was born and tilled an extensive farm. He was a republican in politics and for several years represented Jubilee township on the county board of supervisors and part of the time was chairman of the poor farm committee. While an intelligent and educated man, he was quiet and unobtrusive, and along the cool sequestered shades of life he went the even tenor of his way, winning the respect of all who knew him. He is survived by two sons?Fred Day, who is employed in the Chicago post office; Archibald Day, living in Brimfield and Mrs. Minnie Hull, widow of Paul Hull, who was once renowned as a newspaper man and humorist. He also leaves one brother, Frank Day of Los Angeles, Cal., and two sisters, Mrs. W. L. Wiley of Chicago and Mrs. Howard B. Beecher, wife of the principal of the Douglas school of this city. Arrangements for the funeral are pending advices from Frank Day, the brother living in California, and will be announced later.

Charles Albert Day, Pres. D.A. Stuart Oil Co., born 12 Jan 1865 in Peoria, IL to Charles B Day of Binghamton, NY and his mother of Bennington, VT, married Harriot, died 12 Nov 1942 in Chicago, Cook, IL. Buried 13 Nov 1942 in Graceland cemetery, Chicago, IL.

from Peoria Journal Star, 15 Nov 2008 by Terry Bibo (pjstar.com)
It took 66 years, two days and 20 minutes to bury Charles Albert Day. Once the Chicago-based CEO of an oil company and the scion of a well-known Peoria family, Mr. Day's remains have been sitting on a shelf at Springdale Cemetery since World War II. At 91, Peoria's Charles Kellogg is Day's great-nephew and appears to be the closest surviving relative. He didn't know until three weeks ago. "It's a complete surprise to us," says Jackie Kellogg, as Springdale general manager Pat Lewis helps her husband of 62 years over the soft and uneven ground to Day's graveside on a misty Friday morning. "You never know what's going to happen when the phone rings." Chuck Kellogg is a trifle unsteady, but sporting, as he takes his place for a ceremony to bridge the gap between long-overdue and totally unexpected. "People will think this is for me," he says, pointing his cane at the square hole where the small ceramic jar containing Day's cremains will be placed. A handful of Springdale employees laugh. Along with the Kelloggs, two journalists and a local historian, they are the only people here. Special instructions on the Day family plot prevented this funeral for decades. Close friends and family are understandably scarce. But finding a way to inter these cremains had become a mission for Lewis over the last three years. When he discovered the faint connection to the Kelloggs in October, they made brief yet respectful arrangements. "This is something that is 66 years late," Lewis says as he begins to read prepared remarks. His research shows some odd coincidences. Charles Albert Day was born in Peoria on Jan. 12, 1865. He married Harriot Wheeler Langdon on Nov. 14, 1911 - so he was buried on what would have been their 97th anniversary, if there had been such a thing. (No record of children was found.) His relatives ran what was known as Day Brothers & Co. Dry Goods, but this Day left and became president of D.A. Stuart Oil Co. from 1917 until he retired at 65 in 1929 - neatly spanning from World War I until the Depression. He was living in Chicago when he died on Nov. 12, 1942 - which is 47 years to the day when his father died. Day's death certificate says he was cremated and buried there. But Springdale records show his ashes were shipped to his wife in San Diego, and she sent them back to Peoria. Knowingly or not, this created a problem. There was a handwritten note in the file dated Sept. 19, 1921, that no one could be buried on the Day Brothers lot without permission. If there is a reason why this never happened, no one here knows what it is. Lewis considered going ahead with his own ceremony, and then he found the Kelloggs, who agreed to attend. "I have come to affectionately refer to Charles as 'Chucky,'" Lewis says. While Springdale has been Day's guardian, perhaps he has been an angel for the cemetery, as well. "I feel Chucky has been in a better place for those 66 years, and now his earthly remains can be placed with his mother in what is a very special place." A wan ray of sunlight warms the hillside the Day family chose in 1874. It embraces the same vista Lewis uses to demonstrate Springdale's rejuvenation when he talks to community groups. A small pile of earth is trundled over to the grave and tamped down. The whole thing takes a bit more than a quarter of an hour. "He deserves to be put to rest finally," says Jackie Kellogg as the small group trudges back to their waiting cars. "Poor soul."

Charles married Harriet W “Hattie” Wheeler on 14 Nov 1911. Harriet (daughter of Wheeler and Huggins) was born on 22 Nov 1869 in Illinois; died on 15 Dec 1950 in San Diego Co, CA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
