WILLIAM BAKER

William BAKER (1900), farmer of Osborne township, is a native lowan. The son of Arthur and Catherine (BEARMAN) BAKER, he was born in Marion county, Iowa, May 3, 1885. He was three years of age when the BAKER family moved to Nebraska, where they remained ten years and then returned to Ringgold county, Iowa. In the district schools of that county William completed his education. In 1900, after having lived two years in Sibley, Iowa, the family became residents of Pipestone county. Our subject assisted on the home farm until 1904, when he rented land and commenced farming on his own account. He now lives on the southwest quarter of section 25, Osborne, where he engages extensively in stock raising, especially of hogs and sheep.

At Leota, Nobles county, on February 8, 1904, William BAKER was joined in marriage to Marie KALLEMEYN, who was born April 23, 1884, the daughter of Martin and Martha (KOOIMAN) KALLEMEYN, of Leota. A son, William Arthur, was born to this union April 22, 1907. Mr. and Mrs. BAKER are members of the Christian Reformed church of Edgerton.
