Joseph Baker - We have two birth days for Joseph Baker: 1. 15 Aug 1839 in Montrose,Lee Co., Iowa; and 2. 15 Aug 1838 in West Winfield, Herkimer Co.,New York. His first wife was Lucy Amelia PACK Kimbal. Lucy's first husband was William Kimball, President Heber C Kimball's son. Lucy was born 22 Jun 1837 in Kirkland, Ohio, to John Pack, and Lucy Ives, Pack, pioneers of 1847. Lucy married Joseph Baker 10 Jul 1859 in Salt Lake City,Salt Lake Co.,Utah by President Brigham Young. She died 16 Apr 1874 at Mendon, Cache Co.,Utah, She is buried in the Mendon,Cemetery, Cache Co.Utah.

Joseph and his friend David Rowe were walking on the Rail Road track by the Rocky Point north of Mendon,the wind was blowing so hard they did not hear the train coming and was picked up by the cow catcher and pitched to one side. Lindon was killed instantly. His friend David recovered from the accident.

Note: One of the entries LeeAnn read indicated that after the death of George Eaton Baker, Lucy's youngest son, she became sick and never fully recovered. They record the death as 10 Aug 1873 for George Eaton Baker, I believe this should be the death date of Ward Eaton Baker.

Children from Joseph Baker and second wife, Mary Alice Morgan:

Mary Alice Morgan was sister to Elizabeth Morgan, my Great Grandmother. When Elizabeth died from kidney failure she asked her sister, Mary, to raise my Great Grandmother Mary Geneva, who at that time was just 7 days old.

Notes:

Widow Ann (born Roberts) Morgan emigrated to America in 1874, arriving on the steamship IDAHO from Wales via Liverpool, England. Two unmarried daughters, Mary Allice Morgan and Elizabeth Morgan, accompanied her. The IDAHO arrived in New York on July 6, 1874, after 12 days at sea. The leader of the 806-person LDS Immigration Company was P. Carstensen. The Master of the IDAHO was W. Forsyth.

In Utah, Ann settled at Brigham City and was believed to be living there with daughter Mary Elizabeth when she allegedly married Jonah Mathias sometime between 1875 and 1883, While the marriage is unverified, Her husband would likely have been Jonah Mathias (1843-1928) who is interred in the Brigham City Cemetery. Mr. Mathias earlier married Abigail Burbank (1848-1935) in 1868, so the marriage to Ann would have been polygamous.

A family story relates that Ann's daughter Elizabeth was mistreated by Mr. Mathias, and that a kicking incident motivated John Devinold Morgan to accelerate marriage to her in order to remove her from the Mathias home.

Jonah Mathias is interred with wife Abigail and their natural children in the Brigham City cemetery, Brigham City, Utah. Ann is interred at the Mendon City cemetery, Mendon, Utah.
