"Luther S Baker, the well known insurance and real estate man of Endicott, Nebraska, is counted among the old settlers of this part of Southeastern Nebraska....

"Mr. Baker was born in Allegany county, New York, March 22, 1839, a son of Daniel and Abigail Strong Baker, the former of whom died in 1856, aged fifty-three, and the latter at the age of fifty-three in Pennsylvania. They were parents of fifteen children: five of the sons were Union soldiers, Alanson, who was wounded at Cedar Mountain, Hiram, David, who was killed at Cedar Mountain, Luther and Amandon, who was in the war....

Luther S Baker lived at home in New York until 1856, and then went with his parents to Virginia. In May, 1861, he enlisted at Roulette, Potter county, Pennsylvania, for three month's service, but did not leave the state of Pennsylvania. September 28, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, Forty-sisth Pennsylvania Infantry...his term of enlistment being for three years and he received his honorable discharge at Alexandria, Virginia, July 16, 1865....at Cedar Mountain, August 9, (1862), was taken prisoner and held at Belle Isle until the following November, when he made his escape and joined his regiment...He returned home to Potter county, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1870, when he came to the state of Nebraska and took a homestead in Jefferson county. He has since been engaged in farming and other lines of activity, and now has a large business in insurance and real estate...

"On August 11, 1872, Mr. Baker was married in Nebraska to Miss Amanda M. Wells, who come here in 1867, a daughter of one of the old settlers, James A. Wells, who was soldier in the twentieth Iowa Infantry and now lives at Lamar, Missouri. Ten children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Baker, as follows: Alvin, Adella, Andrew, Florence, William, James, Maud, Rosetta, David, and Wanda, who is deceased..."
