  • Notes 
    • 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.

      Children from Joseph Baker and first wife, Lucy Amelia Pack:

      1. Joseph Lindon Born 22 Mar 1860 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co.,Utah, Died 10 Jan 1880 at 19 year old. 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.
      2. Jesse Merrit Baker.Born 11 Nov 1861, Mendon, Utah. Married Sarah A Dowdle.
      3. Simeon Pack Baker. Born 3 Jan 1864, Mendon, Utah. Married Sarah Bassett.
      4. John Rupert Bake. Born 29 Nov 1865, Mendon, Utah. Married Sarah Bassett.
      5. Lucy Amelia Baker. Born 22 Oct 1867- Married Albert W Raybold.
      6. Charlotte Eleanor Baker. Born 16 Jun 1869. Married David T Owens.
      7. Tamsam Lourlls Baker. Born 23 Feb 1871. Married Edgar Arlington.
      8. Ward Eaton Born 15 Jan 1873. Died 3 Aug 1873.
      9. George Caleb. Born 10 Apr 1874 - Died 10 Apr 1874, age 2 hours.

      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.
