Baker, Jackson Baker
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, March 22, 1906
After an illness of several weeks death came to Jackson Baker Friday evening at 9 o'clock. He was born near Woodsfield, Ohio, October 30, 1828, and was aged seventy-seven years, four months and fifteen days.
Mr. Baker's ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Monroe County, having removed from Wheeling where some of them lost their lives in defense of the settlement against the attacks of the treacherous Indians.
In 1848 he married Eve Ann Polen whose death occurred February 28, 1904. Eight children, five daughters and three sons, were born of this union and came here with their parents in 1871. They settled in the vicinity of the "Jug" where both parents have since lived and died.
For twenty-four years Mr. Baker was toll-gate keeper at the Jug. Being an honest upright man, he won the confidence and esteem of those whom he served and the public in general.
His remains were laid to rest in the Henderson cemetery Saturday morning by the side of the wife and two oldest sons whose departure he mourned while living. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. L. D. Ashby.
