Judge Horace H. Baker, (1884-1947).
on the Methodist church board and as a member of El Paso Golf Club, the Illinois State and Woodford County Bar Associations and the El Paso Kiwanis Club. As a Mason, he was active in both the Knights Templar and the Shrine. He was a prominent member of the Democratic Party and gave it his unswerving support.
One facet of Judge Baker's sparkling life, which we cannot overlook, was his story telling ability. He was the most popular of El Paso toastmasters and served many years in this capacity at almost every civic dinner. In all probability, he inherited a talent from his father who also enjoyed a reputation as a story teller and entertainer.
