I. 186 Ohio Inf. henry married 1 Jan 1867 Mary L. STACKHOUSE. Her obit says she is buried in Antioch Cemetery - probably beside Henry Row 3 S - N Baker, George M. 1862-1917 Near the fence in section one is buried a man known only to God. (No marker) He was found in the hollow at the edge of Antioch on T.946A and this place is still known as "Dead Man Hollow." David Lentz and Edwin BAKER found the body when they were goring for the cows. Victor Colvin, who still lives in Antioch, remembers helping Mr. Haudenschield, the undertaker, retrieve the body. This happened around 1920. I was born and raised in Antioch and though this happened before I was born, I remember as a child going with the gang and reverently visiting the spot where we were told he was found.

BAKER 1851-1937 Published in the Monroe Co. Republician Oct 28th & Nov 4th 1937 Plainview Centennial by Forrest S. Hogue Much evidence has been discovered that the Indians occupied our district to some extent. Many arrowheads have been found, especially near the natural cavern of the Dougherty, Pickens, and Charles Foraker farms. I have been told that a stone stove and stone hatchet were found in the Foraker Cave about fifty years ago. I am told that recently, while road workmen were excavating near this cave they discovered many arrowheads, one almost whole stone hatchet, another half one, and what they believe to be a stone scalping knife. I have not seen these articles as yet. They are in the possession of Homer BAKER and James Ward, two of the workmen. Mrs. BAKER told me today that they would display them at our program together with some interesting war relics which he has in his possession.
