Graveside service to commemorate War of 1812 chaplain May 27

Citizens will gather at the graveside of Elder Samuel Baker in the Village Cemetery, Dublin Road, Sunday, May 27, at 2 p.m. and pay their long-overdue respects for his patriotic service as a chaplain during the War of 1812 and his contributions as a 19th-century theologian and utopian. The Wessaweskeag Historical Society, in association with the Randall Collins Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3108 and the Elder Samuel Baker Circle, have coordinated this community event.
