Many thanks to FAG contributor Kathy Monical (#49101662) for the following obituary:
Albert E. Baker was born September 18, 1844, at Manchester, Indiana, and died at the Masonic Home in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, January 9, 1937, aged 92 years, 4 months and 1 day.
He was married in 1868 to Miss Sarah Dunn of Manchester, Indiana, and to this union five children were born. She preceded him in death 24 years ago.
He came to Seward county, Nebraska in the spring of 1862 and settled on a farm near Tamora. This county has been his home since that time fifty-five years ago, except for two years spent in Chase county, Nebraska, and the past eight years at the Masonic Home.
His primary life interest was farming and to it he devoted his active years. He served two years as the president of the Seward County Agricultural Society and another two years as secretary. In 1903 he was elected and served as county assessor. As the oldest member of a Masonic lodge in the state, his record being for a period of more than seventy years, he was the holder of the Jordan medal.
Surviving him are one son, Albert E. Jr. of Utica; two daughters, Mrs. Carl Nelson, also of Utica and Mrs. Lucinda Underhill of Los Angeles, Calif.; twenty grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors who mourn his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the Chain & Wood parlors on Friday, January 22, at 2 p.m., in charge of Rev. C. H. Prouty of the Methodist church and T. H. Ramsay of the Masonic Lodge. Burial was made in the Utica cemetery.
