Biography

Press Newspaper Dec 10, 1900

In the death of Samuel Baker, Woodstock has lost a good and worthy citizen, and a clever workman. After a long illness his death occurred on Monday afternoon last. For several weeks he had been confined to the house and little hope was held out for his recovery. He was born in Woodstock; the son of Elisha Baker, who many years ago conducted a brick kiln. His trade was that of a carriage builder, at which he was an expert. In fact he was an ingenious worker in wood, two chairs in the Oddfellows' lodge room bear testimony to his handwork. It will be remembered, too, how energetically he worked at the Jubilee Arch on Main Street three years ago. At one time he was in the grocery business with Robert Stephenson, and again in the carriage business with his brother Richard. The last year or two he conducted a shop on Court street, and made a specialty of refrigerators, which he built to give the utmost satisfaction. He was twice married. His first wife Miss Lamsphear of Wisconsin died in 1891. She left one son, George, who has been in attendance on his father all through his trying illness. In April 1893, Mr. Baker was a member of the Free Baptist church. He did not belong to any secret society. The funeral was on Wednesday afternoon, the following being the pall-bearers. Lt. Col. Vince, John McLauchan, W. W. Hay, and Robt. Stephenson. Rev. J. W. Clarke officiated, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thomas. A large number of friends followed the remains to the cemetery.
