Baker, Mr. & Mrs. James (Golden - 19 March 1952)
Mr. and Mrs. James Baker, Town of York couple, were pleasantly
surprised Sunday when about 100 friends, relatives and neighbors
gathered at the Wendell Crothers home to help them celebrate their
50th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Baker were married on March
19, 1902, at the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and
Mrs. George Rosemeyer, and they lived with this couple for a few
weeks while the house on the farm they now occupy was being built.
This farm has been their home ever since. The wild tract of land
has been developed into a fine farm and Mr. Baker, 74 years of age,
still carries on the work alone. He has a fine herd of cattle, 16
of them milch cows. One son, Donald, was born to this couple and he
makes his home in Eau Claire. There is also one grandchild, Jean a
student in college.
The gathering on Sunday was arranged by Mrs. Wendell Crothers, who
was assisted by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jack Crothers, and
daughter, Mrs. Merle Bartsch. Mrs. Crothers is a close friend of
the Bakers and it was her father, John P. Kintzele, Justice of the
Peace, who performed the marriage ceremony 50 years ago.
Those from away who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Baker, Lester
Steverson, Mrs. Mildred Baker and Miss Jean Baker, all of Eau
Claire. Several relatives from away were prevented from coming by
the storm on Saturday.
