Catherine Baker, Public Sale, Landisville, Pa., October 17, 1908

A large sale bill printed by D. B. Landis, Pluck Print, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

I believe that the Catherine Baker who held this sale was probably the same person identified as Catharine W. Kauffman Baker (1835-1912). She was the mother of Nora K. Baker Landis (1858-1910), who was the first wife of D. B. Landis. In 1908, Catharine Baker was 73 years old, and she passed away four years later.
