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. 29, 1916 Jun. 15, 1975 Matheny James Alan Feb. 2, 1946 Apr. 30, 2004 "SP5

He married the Evens girl who was on the south side of the claim she had 620 acres I still own 4 acres of that DLC. My information came from the Polk County papers.
