Notes:  World War II Veteran, U. S. Coast Guard;  Son of Raymond and Anna (Reissner) Baker
Ledger Notes:  Age:  61           Funeral:  Attrell's Chapels
Family Contribution: 
Son of Raymond and Anna Baker, grandson of Alison & Florence Baker and Christian and Mary Reissner. Great grandson of Endymian and Sarah Baker, Oregon Trail Emigrants of 1853.
Alumnus of Corral Creek School (taught by Inza Wood), Wilsonville School (after Corral Creek was closed in the early 1930's), and West Linn High School (Varsity Wrestling).  Enlisted in U.S. Coast Guard in 1942 and served in the Pacific Theatre for all of WWII, including surviving the sinking of his ship.  Upon return from the Service, married and purchased a portion of the Alison Baker farm.  A life-long farmer, stubbornly passionate about nature and preservation, enjoyed tinkering and serving as the family historian.  Member of The Grange and VFW in Sherwood and founding member of BPOE, Sherwood.
Husband of Dorothy (nee' Mack of Tigard).  Three children, four grandchildren.

As the youngest child of the family, was known as Buddy as a child and went by Bud throughout his adult life, with many people unaware of his given name "Lowell." 
Had three siblings:  Harold, Pearl and Opal.  Parents and siblings are interred in Canby cemetery.  His mother (a Reissner) had an aversion to red soil, given a difficult early life on her family's farm with poor, red soil in Yamhill County before moving to the Bell Road farm.  She asked not to be buried at Pleasant Hill because of the red soil.  Hence, the break with the established Baker Family plots at PVC.

Monument Survey

Monument Material:    Granite monument and base, no apron apparent
Auxiliary Stones:   Granite MOTHER and FATHER stones
Monument Problems:  Serious rodent undercutting of SE corner of monument base; not yet tilted, but in jeopardy.  Main monument was toppled in 2008 and suffered edge chips and scraping from collision with the Glenn Baker stone.  It has since been re-set and secured in 5/08.  MOTHER stone is also seriously undercut and has reduced legibility due to lichen.
Engraving:                  Mint condition except for lichen staining
Illustrations: Border decorations, modified curtain and beautiful deep relief carving of flower and leaves.
Flower Containers:    None
Other Remarks: One of seven monuments and eight burials of record in Lot 59, all of which are within a concrete border that surrounds the Baker family plots.  The border surrounds all of Lot 59.  This is the primary family stone with particularly fine carving.  It is being seriously undercut by erosion and ground rodents.

Gender:  M Birth Name: 
Born:  1828 Died:  1912 Burial Date:  Nov. 29, 1912
Notes:  Oregon Pioneer, Donor of land for the cemetery
Ledger Notes:  Age:  84 Yrs., 0 Mos. 9 Days   
Family Contribution:    Son of John Jehu (Jehuennes)and Elisabeth (Derryberry) Baker. Brother of Endymian, Terry, Malinda (Adams), Williamson, Parmelia (Tuckness), Henry and Polly. Emigrant of 1853 from Missouri.
Emigrated with brothers, sisters, and extended families. PVC established on a corner of his Donation Land Claim. Moses donated and officially deeded the land much later. The southern boundary of the cemetery marks the southern boundary of the DLC.
Baker Road marks the eastern boundary of his DLC.
 
His brother, Endymian, organized and led the Baker Clan west. 
Endymian was friendly with John Zumwalt from their Missouri days together.  After making his emigration a couple of years earlier, Zumwalt probably enticed the Bakers to go to Oregon and to join him in the new territory.  The Bakers took DLC's immediately north of Zumwalt's.  Moses was said to be a bachelor.  As such, his DLC passed out of family hands earlier than most of the other family holdings.  His niece, Mary Baker, aged 4, appears to be the first "resident" of the cemetery.  That family death probably played an important role in his donating the land for the cemetery.  The oldest one was his nephew, Thomas Tuckness, though Thomas is probably not buried at PVC -- given his death date and place along with the fact that his parents did not make the trek from Missouri until 1853 with the entire Baker Clan.
