Son of Abel Baker & Lydia (Chellis)
Joel was a member of the academics in New Hampton, NH and East Hampton, MASS.
He taught for a while in Kentucky.
When his father died in 1847, he took possession of the home farm and held it until he died.
In 1850, he married Josephine J. Boardman of Rutland, VT.
They had 5 daughters and 1 son.
Joel took an active part in the prosperity of the town, and was particularly influential in the establishment and building of an excellent town library.
He was the first chaplain of the local Grange.
His health failed, even though medical care and the most faithful nursing by his children could not arrest the progress of the fatal malady (malaria).
From "The Granite State Free Press", May 28,1897.
He would have contracted Malaria while he was teaching in Kentucky.
