Mr Lincoln and Friends

When Baker returned to Illinois, his friendship with Mr. Lincoln was
speedily revived. "On Christmas Eve, 1860, Baker arrived in Springfield to
visit his step-daughter, Maria. Violating protocol, Mr. Lincoln went to the
home of Maria and her husband, James Matheny. He walked in without bothering
to knock. Greeting the new senator from Oregon, President-elect Lincoln said
he 'would rather see Baker elected Senator than any man alive.'" wrote
Baker's biographers, Harry C. Blair and Rebecca Tarshis.12 A contemporary
journalist, Henry Villard wrote: "'Ned,' as he was familiarly called
hereabouts in former days, was most cordially greeted, by his old friend,
the President-elect, and a host of relatives and acquaintances." Villard
found Baker more impressive tFhan his Springfield fried: Baker "is certainly
a remarkable man and has made a remarkable career. Of restless ambition,
indomitable energy, true English perseverance, fine natural parts, great
elegance and popular manners, he could not well fail to make his mark."13

Falls City Cemetery, Falls City, Polk County, Oregon The Falls City Cemetery
is located on Falls City Highway about 3.5 miles west of the intersection
with Highway 223 south of Dallas, OR and about 1/4 mile east of Falls City.
>From the highway turn north up the hill on a gravel road (looks like a
driveway and is directly opposite the Old IOOF cemetery on the south side of
the highway). The cemetery is about 3/10 mile at the end of the road. This
cemetery is still in use. Some of the older stones are broken, some
unreadable and some are gone entirely. We discovered some stones under
bushes that had been planted on the graves. There are a number of metal
framed cards placed by the funeral homes. Most of them have deteriorated and
are illegible. This listing is as of March 29, 2006. Matheny Donald E Nov.
