Letter from Duncan Baker, Jr., Nash County, 24 Feb 1982: "The Calvin Baker homeplace still stands and Sam Baker's widow is still living there. In a field nearby is the Calvin H. Baker Cemetery. Your great granddaddy (Joe S. Baker) is not buried there but is buried about 2 miles down the road where his farm was located. He and his wife and a woman named Daisy are the only three. The graveyard is now near I-95. On your great granddad's grave is Joe S. Baker. They called him Joe for short. His wife was Madorra Crumpler."

His farm was very near old Coopers School.
