James William Baker
This is a picture of James William Baker. Born January 17, 1834, died 1928. Married Frances (Fannie) Ellis, his first cousin. He was a fine mathematician, taught school for 30 years, served in the office of State Auditor of Virginia. James' only brother, Robert Baker, graduated from Bethany College circa 1861, taught Greek for several months, got sick, and died.
My father, Joseph Robert Baker, visited his grandfather James William Baker, in 1926. He said that James was "a crank."
