F.F.BAKER IS A
REMARKABLE MA
WELL KNOWN RAPHO TOWN-
SHIP FARMER, IS A BUSY
WORKER AT NEARLY 80
YEARS OF AGE
Frederick F. Baker, residing a
short distance from Hossler’s school
house, in" Rapho township, is one of
Lancaster county’s most remarkable
men. Mr. Baker has been a farmer
from the time he was old enough to
work, and he has spent more than
three-score years in that occupation.
For the past eight years, Mr. Baker
has been blind, but even that afflic-
tion does not prevent him at the age
of seventy-years from performing
some of the lighter work around his
farm. He is the oldest native resi-
dent of the neighborhood in which he
lives and he has occupied the same
house and farm for half a century.
Mr. Baker having lost his eyesight
is so familiar with his farm that he
can find his way to any part and cut
wood and attend to other minor
tasks. He is well posted on all the
events that have occurred in that sec-
tion for the past seventy years, and
current topics and

he posted on
discusses them freely. In his life he
has been a constant reader and
possesses and relates knowledge of
events with a degree of accuracy that
is uncommon. His knowledge of
present day affairs he has acquired
by hearing, as his wife reads regularly
the newspapers for his benefit.
Mr. Baker built the house which
he occupies and owns the farm on
which it stands. From the time of
his birth he has never resided in any
other section, and hence knows all
about the events that have occurred
in that vicinity. He also owns by
subsequent purchase, the plot of
ground across the road from his

Sam Can Do It
it comes to making a farm
produce, Mr. Samuel H. Tressler, who
owns one of the best farms in East
Donegal, can make them all sit up
and take notice. He just finished de-
livering his wheat and from 36 acres
he procured 950 bushels, an average
of over 26 bushels to the acre. From
four acres of oats he received 200
bushels.

I come home, I'll tell you all about
this war as it will not last long any-
more. But the only thing I should
like to have is two bottles of Mount

July 28th, 1918
Dear Sister: —I will write and let
you know that I am well and like the
place I am at. I am getting good eats
and I don’t want you folks to worry
about me. I am getting along fine
and am feeling good.
The people are quite different here
from what they are in the States;
they are working every day, Sunday
included. They are now getting the
harvest away. The only people we
see are very old folks and children;
they do the work on the farm. They
do not wear goes like we do but wear
wooden shoes and when it is raining
they take them off on the outside.
The people here are very nice and
are elad to see us come. They have
nice roads “over here” but the houses
are very old and built of stone.
We can not buy many things here
the only things are nuts, figs and to-
bacco. We see at nearly every camp
a lot of German prisoners and hear
that the Germans are being driven
back while the French are gaining.
The young girls here are all draft-
ed and are in the hospitals taking
care of the wounded. Tell Laura
that the Red Cross treats us fine “ov-
er here.” At some places we get very
oood coffee and bread from them.
One town we went thru they gave us
ice cream, cigaretts and candy.
You can write anytime for I will
get the mail any place I go with the
address I give you.
Give my love to the family.
Your brother,
