Biographical Record of Carroll County, Ohio, J. H. Beers & Co., 1891, p. 907
Samuel B. Baker, farmer and proprietor of saw mill in Orange Township, Carroll County, was born October 2, 1838, in Harrison County, Ohio, a son of Otho and Nancy (Buchanon) Baker, former of whom was also of Harrison County. The father lived the greater part of his life in Harrison County, and was there married to Miss Nancy Buchanon, whose grandparents came from Germany to this country her parents being natives of Pennsylvania, whence they moved to Ohio in early times. Mr. and Mrs. Otho Baker had seven children, all boys, as follows: Samuel B., Zachariah, A. B., John, a practicing physician in Illinois, Cyrus, Joseph (deceased), and one that died in infancy. The father died in Perry Township, Carroll County, April 19, 1897, and the mother April 4, 1888.
Samuel B. Baker, whose name heads this biography was a year old when his parents brought him to Orange Township, and he here received a good business education, also a thorough practical training in the science of agriculture on his father's farm. In March, 1862, he was married to Miss Ann Coffee, who was born in Carroll County, and whose parents, John and Elizabeth (Rutledge) Coffee, came from Ireland, and by this union were born six children, viz: John Otho, Samuel Joseph, William Emerson, Emmet Ellsworth, and two sons who died in infancy. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Baker moved to their present farm, which comprises 133 acres of highly improved land in section 23, having a fine residence thereon and a commodious barn. It is well stocked, watered, and equipped with all necessary implements of husbandry. Mr. Baker is not only a practical farmer, but for the past 25 years has given much of his attention to saw milling, his first mill being driven by water power, and his present one by steam. He is an extensive manufacturer of lumber, supplying the most of his neighbors with all their wants in that line.
His obituary in the Carroll Chronicle, Carrollton, Ohio, Friday, December 14, 1906.
Samuel Buchanan Baker, the son of Otha W. and Nancy (Buchanan) Baker, was born October 2, 1838, and died December 4, 1906: aged 68 years, 2 months and 2 days. He was the oldest of a family of seven boys, four of whom are deceased: Zachariah of near New Hagerstown and Cyrus of Carrollton, surviving. His death was very sudden and every heart in the community felt saddened when reached by the sad news. Previous to his death he had been in good health except for a bad cold. About two o'clock Tuesday morning he was seized by a severe spell of coughing when his wife arose to secure something to relieve him. At 4 o'clock, the coughing having been relieved, he passed quietly away without a sign of warning to his friends. The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble, with which he had been afflicted for some time. During life he was a man of strong constitution, never requiring the aid of a physician.
He was united in marriage to Ann Coffy, October 28, 1862, to whom he was a faithful companion until the end. They raised four sons, John O. of Canton, William E. of New Philadelphia, Joseph and Emmett at home. Four grandchildren remain to hold him in fond remembrance.
He was born in Harrison County, Ohio, but one year later his parents moved to their farm in Orange Township, Carroll County. From that time he has been a life-long resident of the community in which he died. His entire life has been spent on the farm. In connection with his farm work he did considerable threshing, and also operated a coal bank on his own farm, supplying a large country trade. For a number of years he has been extensively engaged in the saw milling and lumber business throughout the Southern part of the county. In his business affairs he has come in contact with a great number of people, and it can be said that he was straightforward, honest and upright in all his dealings.
He was a good citizen, a generous, sociable and obliging neighbor. any deed or act of assistance was given by him as a favor. Now his death will be a sincere loss to the whole community. He did the sawing of the lumber, aided in the hauling and helped in the erection of the new M. P. Church, which was recently built at Palermo. While doing this little did he realize that his would be the first funeral to be conducted within its doors. The funeral services were held on Thursday, conducted by Rev. Hughes, assisted by Rev. Buchanan. His remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives, which only show the high esteem in which he was held.
