Elmira Star-Gazette, February 22, 1962
Bakers Married 64 Years; He shot Prowling Bear at 89
Mr. & Mrs. Roy Baker planned to celebrate their 64th wedding anniversary
quietly at home Wednesday, but one never knows what excitement will develop
around the Baker’s house. Late one night last July, they heard a noise
outside their summer home at Baldwin Run near Wellsboro Junction. They
look out and found a large black bear tearing apart Mr. Baker’s bee hives
and eating the honey. Mr. Baker, then 89, killed the bear with one shot.
He received $46 in damage from the State Game Commission for the destroyed
bees. The Bakers spent their anniversary at their winter home at 28 W.
Water St., Wellsboro. They remember well their wedding day 64 years ago.
It was a warm, spring-like day with no snow on the ground when they boarded
the New York Central passenger train at Stokesdale, now called Wellsboro
Junction, for the trip to Lawrenceville where they were married. They recall
that no license was necessary at that time, nor was there any age limit
for a bride and groom. They also remember the old-fashioned “horning bees”
where shotguns and sometimes even dynamite were used to “serenade” the
couple’s first night of marriage. At 90, Mr. Baker still is very active
and takes long walks whenever the weather permits. He spent most of his
life hunting and trapping foxes, wildcats and raccoons during the winter.
He also worked as an attendant of the New York Central Railroad water pump
station at Stokesdale Junction. Mrs. Baker is 80. Her lifelong hobby has
been making quilts and hooked rugs which she gives to friends and neighbors.
The couple had one daughter, now deceased.
