Nearly all his life was spent in this county and for several years he had been engaged in the retail liquor business in Lockhart. The Baker family were among the early settlers in this section. In 1892 he married to Miss Lucinda Scruggs of this county and to this union eight children were born, two having died and six surviving as follows:
