Baker Cabin Museum
Alonzo and his eldest son Lonny, then age ten, were absent in the spring of 1889 working in Montana.  The family was living on the homestead in Etna in a tent and an overturned wagon box.  Anna Eliza (age 32) was left alone with six children, the youngest but a baby.  Wife Anna Eliza,my grandmother, having spent the previous winter under these primitive conditions, wanted a house.  She had the knowledge and skill (having learned the building trades from her contractor father) to build a house and most importantly she had the will and determination.
