Hoaglin Twp. -
JOHN BAKER was born in Columbiana County,
Ohio, in 1827. He removed to Carroll County in 1843, and
remained until 1853, when he came to Hoaglin Township and settled in
section 11. In 1852 he married Elizabeth Wisenor and
has a family of six children. His eighty acres of land were in
the woods, and a single cow was all the stock he had. The
first two years they lived without furniture and on corn for bread.
Notwithstanding the sickness and discouragement which beset them,
they have improved their farm and acquired a comfortable home.
Mr. Baker looks back with pleasure to their pioneer days when
the nights were disturbed by the howling of wolves, which she thinks
was music in comparison to the discord of the pride and selfishness
of more populous neighborhoods.
