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.
