Frank was the fourth of eight children born to Enoch P. Baker and Harriet Elizabeth Ridgeway, who married in May of 1869. Their eight children were Ira (1869), William A. (5 Aug 1871), Mary L. (Aug 1873), Franklin A. (1875), Edward (Jul 1877), Jennie (1879), Clarence Richard (1882) and Harrison (circa 1889).
I found the family on the 1880 Census, living in Plymouth's North Township in Marshall Co., Indiana. Enoch Baker, aged 32, was a farmer. Harriet, aged 31, was home with their six children—Ira, aged 10, William, aged 9, Mary, aged 6), Frank, aged 4, Edward, aged 2, and Jennie, aged 9 months.
With no 1890 Census still around, fast forward to the 1900 Census. The family was still living in Plymouth's North Township. Enoch, aged 52, was busy farming. Harriet, aged 52, was busy at home with their seven children—Ira, aged 30, William, aged 28, Mary, aged 26, Franklin, aged 24, Jennie, aged 20, Clarence, aged 17, and Harrison, aged 11.
Enoch and Harriet were still living in North Township in 1910. Enoch, aged 62, was still actively farming. Harriet, aged 61, was keeping house. Only sons Frank, aged 32, and Harrison, aged 21, were still living at home. Though sons William and Clarence were no longer living with their parents, they too were living in North Township. Clarence, aged 27, was head of household and was noted as a farmer. William was helping him manage it. Clarence's wife Mary, aged 26, was keeping house. Also living with the family was William and Clarence's brother Ira, aged 39 and making a living doing odd jobs.
By the time the 1920 Census came around, Frank's brother William had moved back in with his parents. Enoch Baker, aged 72, was still farming. Harriet, aged 71, was tending their home. Besides William, aged 48 and working as a carpenter, there was Frank, aged 46. Also living with the family was 11-year-old Neva Gray, identified as a daughter (foster daughter?)
Seven years after that census, Frank's mother Harriet died on 13 Nov 1927 after having a stroke. She was 78 years old. Frank's father Enoch only live another two years without his helpmate and companion, departing this life on 7 Oct 1929 at age 81.
I found Frank on the 1930 Census, renting a residence located at 117 S. Center St. in Plymouth. Frank, aged 54 and still single, was noted as a furniture merchant.
By the 1940 Census, Frank, aged 64 and again noted as single, was living at 819 W. La Porte St. in Plymouth. He was noted as a carpenter, doing private jobs.
Frank died ten years later on 4 Feb 1950, aged 74, victim of chronic valvular disease. On his death certificate, it indicated that he had never married.
