IN REGARD TO REV. ABIJAH R. BAKER'S DISCOURSE ON THE SHIP-BUILDERS OF MEDFORD, Excerpt from The Medford Historical Register, Vol. 1., 1898,pgs 76-78, published by the Medford Historical Society: "It remains that I should speak of the results of the work performed by the ship-builders of Medford. Rev. Abijah R. Baker, formerly pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Medford, delivered a discourse on this subject on Thanksgiving Day, 1846. The sermon was full of valuable information, and was published. Through the kindness of Mr. Dean, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical and Genealogical Society and our repspected associate, I have been permitted to consult a copy of Mr. Baker's printed discourse which is contained in the library of the society. This document gives a complete register of all vessels built in Medford from 1803 to 1846, with the name of each ship, date of building, the yard in which it was built, builder, owner, and tonnage. This register was afterwards supplemented by Mr. Brooks, and brought up to 1854. The whole will be found in his history (pp. 336 to 380). Mr. Usher, in his edition of "Brooks' History," fails to complete the register down to the close of ship-building, 1873, and, for some inscrutable reason, Mr. Brooks' register does not appear in his book. Mr. Usher gives, however, some tables of statistics which are of interest in this connection. " RESIDENCE: 1876, at time of death: Washington Street, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA

He travelled extensively, making many visits to various parts of Europe and the east, almost always accompanied by members of his family. In 1855 he was commissioner under the United States government to the Paris Exposition, having charge of the American Department of Fine Arts, and serving at the same time on the international jury on painting, sculpture and architecture. At the close of the exposition he was decorated with the Cross of the French Legion of Honor, in recognition of his distinguished services. Mr. Woods always took a deep interest in Brown University. From 1856 until his death he was a trustee; from 1866 to 1882 he was treausurer, and during that time prepared and issued the first printed treasurer's report, covering the years 1867 to 1882, also publishing a "List of Subscriptions made to Brown University during the twenty-five years terminating June 29, 1871."

He generously laid the foundation for a lectureship on the fine arts as applied to the mechanic arts. Few institutions have had guardians so scrupulous and able as he was.

LETTER TO HER DAUGHTER: DESCRIPTION: Letter found in the scrapbook of Winifred Tompkins (Mrs. Irving Troemel), daughter of Harriette Woods Baker.

Possible matching envelope: addressed to : Miss Harriette W. Baker 33 West 54th Street New York City, N.Y.

Asbury Park. Nov. 23rd, 1890

My dear Harriette, Thankyou very much for your bright little letter. I was delighted to receive it. As I could fancy it told me that you were feeling bright and well & that you had no headache. I hope you had a pleasant evening on Friday. Do be sure and go to bed early. I think you need plenty of fresh air and plenty of sleep. Mr. Davis's daughters are very nearly the same age as you and Fannie. They are very nice girls. Carrie who is just one week older than Fannie is studying art with her father, is also a very nice little housekeeper. On Saturday, her mother being sick in bed she went right into the kitchen and made pies and cake. She also ordered the meat from the Butcher. When he brought in the roast of beef she saw that he had charged for seven pounds. She weighed it and found that it only weighed six pounds. So she was afraid that he was not honest, and was trying to take an advantage of her, and asked why he did so? He replied that he had cut the bone out and trimmed it. So you see she learned something. They have a great big family cat here, named Tom, of whom they are all very fond. There is one peculiarity about Tom which is this, that he does not like to be lifted by the neck, (which I have always thought was the proper way to lift a cat) but prefers to be lifted by the tail. If I had not seen it done, I could not have believed it. When Tom is outside and wants to come into the house, he just springs up on the window sill , and immediately someone opens the door for him. I cannot say that he and I have become friends. I think he knows that I do not like cats, and yet I admire him, because he looks so fat and comfortable looking. The Park looks very lovely. I gave your regards to the ocean but could not get any other return from it than a great roar. So you can interpret that any way you like, either as a great hearty, "I thank you" or else, as a very rough, gruff, "I don't care." I must now stop fun and tell you that I am very sorry not to be with you on your birthday. I hope you will have a very happy day, and if it is God's will that you may be spared to have many more. But after all, it does not make so much matter if we live long, as if we live well. May God bless you and keep you always my darling and give you His Holy Spirit, that you may ever be growing into the likeness of His Son. Please kiss Papa and your sisters for me, with love to them, also to Grandma and your Uncle Andrew & Sister Anne, with kind remembrances to all friends not forgetting Mary. I am ever your loving mother,

Margaret Coats Baker

Marriage Notes for CHARLES BAKER and MARY SCHENCK: RESIDENCE: An excerpt from a Castine, ME realtor's website on the history of Northrop Cottage, the residence built by the widow of Charles Richardson Baker:

"Northrop Cottage was built in 1906 by Mrs. Charles Richardson Baker, a widow from Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Baker originally called the house Villa Conselyea after a street in Brooklyn. She built the Queen Anne, shingle-style cottage so her grandchildren could escape a serious diphtheria epidemic in New York City. To get from New York to Castine, the family traveled by a steamship heavily laden with belongings and servants. The house subsequently became known locally as Northrop Cottage, the surname of one of Mrs. Baker's grandchildren. From a long line of ministers, the Baker family was instrumental in constructing the beautiful Episcopal Church on historic Perkins Street. The collection of religious books in the living room are remnants of the family's commitment to religious training and teaching. While strolling the property, visitors may discover a low stone wall painstakingly built by local stone masons that marks the border of the six acre estate. Also, an old spring-fed well, there long before Northrop Cottage was built, is located near Battle Avenue. Native Americans used to visit the spring for the water's medicinal properties. An apple orchard can be spotted in front of the carriage house. Northrop Cottage features many interesting details from the early 1900s. Brass wall sconces, servants bells, converted gas lamps, butler's pantry, leaded glass windows, soapstone counter, marble sinks, built-in window seats, and exquisite moldings are examples of some of the articles. Other facts of interest include: The room sitting atop the roof, commonly referred to as the widow's watch, was actually a replica of a deckhouse from a riverboat of Mark Twain's era. Fire hoses were located in the second and third floor hallways. Hand pumps, then located in the basement, were used to supply water to the upper floors in the event a fire ignited. Two large cisterns were built in the basement to capture rainwater. The water was then pumped to a third cistern in the attic of the house where the rainwater serviced the family's water needs. The third floor living room was originally a billiard room where gentlemen of the day gathered. The carriage house was built by local shipbuilders. Square dances were common events in the carriage house and the upper floor was used by the grandchildren as a stage in play performances."
