John M. Baker was born in Johnson county, December 11th 1836.
He was the son of Michael and Lydia Baker. He was of a family of eight sons and one daughter of whom some have preceded him to the better land, George and Jackson. He lived in Morgan county during the greatest part of his life where he was a successful farmer. During his last illness he lived with his daughter, Mrs. James Abraham of Knox county, where he died February 11th, 1906, aged 69 years, 2 months. He united with the Methodist church of which he was a member for forty or fifty years. During the early part of his church work he was a great Sunday school worker but his voice weakened and then he was no longer able to lead but he still took great interest in church work and all questions that pertained to the community.
He was a man whose honesty and integrity was above reproach and he was honored and loved by his neighbors who knew him only to admire his sterling qualities of character.
He was one who, when he thought a thing was right, would uphold it with all his ability; but if he saw he was wrong, he was ready to concede to his fellow man all the rights and privileges that he claimed for himself. He took great interest in his home and family. His children’s welfare was one thing that was guarded by him zealously.
For the writer has often heard him remark that he greatest enjoyment that he could have was to see his children comfortable and happy. He was a great favorite with the little children. He never seemed to enjoy himself better than when making them happy.
Surely his work was commendable in the sight of his maker to whom he has gone to receive his reward for the sight of his reward for the exemplary life lived here on this earth.
Dear father and grandpa, thou art gone from us. Thy place can never be filled only in memory of thy loving kindness and the assurance that thou hast so zealously labored for and that we may meet thee where there is no sorrow or death.
He leaves to mourn his loss one daughter, Mrs. James Abraham of Sandborn, Indiana; six grandchildren, Mrs. Ward Ragsdale of Trafalgar, Mrs. E. E. Green of Province, Clayton Abraham of Sandborn, Earnest and Charlie Baker of Hartford City, Ind., and five great grandchildren, besides a host of relatives and friends.
