Like · Reply · 1m Larry Johnson Howard Baker is grandson of Moses Baker, who is half-brother of Amandan Baker. Here's a ghost story: This is copied from "Descendants of William Baker" by Merl Fabian Baker, 1985 (William Baker is my great, great, great, great, great grandfather, born in England and a veteran of the Revolutionary War, U.S. Patriot side.) Ghost With Boots Circa 1890 - As told by Clara Stillwell - Cleo Legacy The Fishing Creek Cemetery is located on the line common to Roulet and Clara township. The first man to be buried there was Amandan Baker, a Civil War veteran. On his tombstone it is recorded that he died 9 Nov. 1889, age 56. Those who knew Amandon said he always wore leather boots winter and summer. Some of the dead appear to find it difficult to give up earthly possessions, even their physical bodies for which they have no need. Such a ghost was that of Amandon Baker. One night Willis Taucher was walking down the road above the cemetery, A man suddenly appeared ahead of him, earring (wearing? carrying) a pair of boots over his shoulder. Willis called to him to wait and they would walk together, but he never turned his head nor paid any attention whatsoever. He walked straight on until he came to the cemetery. There he turned, went directly to the new grave and vanished. Willis was certain it was Amandon. As time went on others saw the same apparition with boots over its shoulder. It always acted in the same manner. Why did Amandon haunt his grave instead of his home? Why did he carry his boots instead of wearing them? Was it because he had often done that very thing in the Civil War to preserve his precious boots? Amandan walks no more, but he is not forgotten. Each year a new flag flies over his grave. Clara Stillwell a friend of Amy Baker, Cleo Legacy, sisters. Taucher girls.

Grabe as borough treasurer but tabled the resignation of John W. Mahaley, secretary-solicitor, until tomorrow night, pending further investigation. Mr. Mahaley had indicated he would accept the job again if his salary were increased about $1,000 per year. Carl H. Roberts, Charles Upde-graff and John Karr were sworn in by burgess Mort. W. Levinson, who conducted the meeting prior to the election of James L. Elliott as president for the next two years. Mr. Elliott was in charge of the balance of the meeting which lasted from 8:00 o'clock until about 10:30. Mr. Grabe, who. for years has served as trustee of the Schildeberger Estate as well as borough treasurer, will receive the same salary for the latter position $125 per year. He reluctantly agreed to continue as trustee of the estate after he had been assured that the borough will attempt to dispose of the two houses owned by the estate during this year. Street commissioner Oliver Watson was re-appointed by the new council at the same salary, although he had requested an increase for himself and other borough street employes. Council members asked for time to study the budget before any salary or wage increases are granted. It was also decided by the newly-organized borough governing body that regular meetings will be held the first Monday of each month at 7:30 in the hose rooms. Committees named by Mr. Elliott include the following: Street Mr. Karr, chairman; Mr. Updegraff, Mr. Watson and Tom Leete. Lighting Owen E. Metzger, chairman; Mr. Roberts.
