Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Lucas and Wayne Counties, Iowa, Vol. 1: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement It is natural that we become attached to the land of our nativity, the scenes of our childhood, the birthplace of our early hopes and aspirations, and the battle ground of life's joys and sorrows. We come to love its mountains and its plains, its rocks and its rivers, its forests and its prairies, and all the surroundings of the spot of earth that we have learned to call our home, have charms for us that time cannot efface. The poet has thus beautifully expressed this truth: "We view in each crag, A friend's familiar face, And clasp the mountain, In our mind's embrace." It is this attachment for our homes which creates the demand for history, especially the history of counties, or other localities. We desire to ascertain all that we can about this particular locality and the people who formerly occupied it as their home. What kind of people were they? How, or in what manner did they walk, talk, eat and dress? What were their ideas, and what did they do in the way of improving and developing this home? We start out in search of this information, but at the very threshold of this inquiry we are met by the sad fact that but a very few of the pioneers who sought homes in this county are now living, and hence the answers to many of the questions we would propound to them are buried in the graves of early settlers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Lucas and Wayne Counties, Iowa, Vol. 2: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement The common schools of Lucas afford-cd Norman F. Baker his educational opportunities, but he has carried forward his own studies since that time, being an apt pupil in the school of experience. Since 1886 he has been connected with the affairs of the Farmers Miners Bank, established in that year, an institution of which he is now cashier. A financier of shrewd and resource ful ability, he has by the application of sound and progressive methods made the concern grow and expand so that it is now not only the oldest bank in the county but also one of the substantial and prosperous financial concerns of the state. Mr. Baker is progressive and modern in all that he does and his spirit of enterprise is evidenced by the fact that he will allow in the bank only the newest equipment, having recently installed a new burglar proof manganese safe, of the Victor patent, one of the first to be introduced in southern Iowa. In addition to his banking interests Mr. Baker owns also a. Profitable general mer chandise store in Lucas and two good farms in Jackson township, each of which is provided with an excellent set of improvements. Following his father's foot steps, he has ever taken an active part in the development of Lucas, centering a great deal of his attention upon its growth along business lines and making his individual prosperity a factor in general expansion. Mr. Baker married, in October, 1896, Miss Margaret Beatty, born in Wapello county, Iowa, June 4, 1874. She is a daughter of Thomas and Mary (hart) Beatty, the former born in Dubuque in 1848 and the latter near Sheldon, Iowa, December 25, 1852. When Mrs. Baker was two years of age her parents removed to Lucas county, where both died, the father passing away in 1880 and the mother in April, 1900. In their family were five children: Mrs. Ella Jones, the wife of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railway agent at Indianola, Iowa, Mrs. Baker; James, who is engaged in the mercantile business in Ottumwa; Mrs. Mary Warner, whose husband is also a merchant in Albia, Iowa; and Susan, the wife of Arthur Knotts, interested in mining in old Mexico. The two eldest children in this family are natives of Wapello county, the three younger ones having been born in Lucas county. The family has been in Iowa since pioneer times, Mrs. Baker's grandparents having been among the earliest settlers in Dubuque county. Mr. And Mrs. Baker have two sons: Norman F Jr., born December 29, 1897, now a student in the public schools; and Gerald J. Whose birth occurred April 19, 1900, and who is also pursuing his studies. Mrs. Baker 18 a member of the Catholic church of Chariton. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
