27. Joseph Jacob³ Baker (Joseph Winfield², Joseph¹) was born in White Twp Apr 23, 1898.

He married Emma Catherine Griffith. Emma was born in Homer City, Pa Apr 18, 1901. Joe worked in a clothing store for Emanuel Buchman, later worked in the pattern shop of Marshall Foundry Blacklick, Pa. Once employed as yard foreman, Homer City Incubator factory. Was employed as pattern maker Conemaugh Iron works. Most of his life has been spent working for Mr. C.Cunningham and the Westmorland Mining Co. as a civil engineer. I will never know how he accomplished this, having sight in one eye only. Especially the blueprints.

Kate, daughter of E.B. and Martha Griffith, was born in Homer City, grew up and went to school there with her sisters and the Kunkle girls, coming to Blairsville in 1922 when she married Joe. She must have had some fun taking her gang to Homer city on the streetcar to visit Grandma and Grandad Griffith.
