The son of Michael & Elizabeth (Harmon) Baker, in 1860 he was a lime burner living in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 7" tall and had dark hair and blue eyes. He married Sarah Emma Frederick January 1861 in Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, and fathered George Warren (b. 08/26/66), Willis Elmer (b. 01/26/69), Anna Florence (b. 06/08/72 - married Adam Gries), Emma Florence (b. 06/08/73), Rosa (b. @1874), Anna Marie (b. 03/07/78 - married Levi H. Keihl), Priscilla (b. 04/09/80 - married Jerome A. Folk), and Aquilla Wance (b. 04/28/80).
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-five at Camp Wayne in West Chester, Chester County, June 10, 1861, and mustered into federal service at Camp Carroll in Baltimore, Maryland, July 26 as a private with Co. I, 1st Pennsylvania Reserves (30th Pennsylvania Infantry). He deserted at Manassas Junction, Virginia, April 13, 1862, but reported back to duty in May 1863 and placed in arrest. For reasons not explained in his compiled military service records, on January 8, 1864, he was returned to duty without trial or any other apparent disciplinary procedure being evoked. The following September, he was admitted to Haddington U.S. Hospital in Philadelphia and there honorably discharged the service to date January 5, 1865, but was only paid through July 25, 1864. That he later was accepted into Mount Holly Springs' Kennedy Post No. 490, G.A.R., and received a disability pension further illustrates that he had been granted an honorable discharge.
He died at his daughter Anna Florence's home from "nervous debility" with "paralysis" a contributing factor.
