In December, 1893 she was married to Albert King of Blair and five children were born to them, four of whom survive with the husband. They are Joshua and Mrs. Martha Modlin of Tekamah; and Floyd and Elzy of Herman. Others who remain to mourn Mrs. Baker’s death are a sister, Mrs. Geneva Morton of Herman; two brothers, Harry of Blair and Jake of Herman; and twenty four grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
