She received her education in Williams Seminary and in private schools

pride to their mother. Mr. Baker has large business interests; he
is president of the Keokuk National Bank, the senior member of the firm
of S. F. Baker & Co., a business established by his father, and has

has been a member of the First Baptist church of which she is a regular
attendant and a constant worker. She has many charity interests;
she was a charter member of the Benevolent Union and has held every
office in the association. She is vice president of the Visiting
Nurse Association, a director in the Civic League and a member of
a number of prominent literary and social clubs. She has traveled
all over America from Alaska to Cuba and Mexico and has visited almost
every country in Europe. Her greatest pleasure is in her beautiful
home, Cor. of 4th street and Orleans Ave., overlooking the Mississippi,
one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Iowa. |
