Biographical/Historical Note:

Harry Leo Kern was born to Frank E. Kern (1854-1931) and Josephine Spires Kern (1859-

1946) in 1894. He attended school at Lancaster schools in Lancaster, Ohio, before enlisting in

the American Army during the First World War as the company Bugler. After returning from

Europe, Harry Kern married Mary Schwendeman the daughter of Frank Schwendeman and

Margaret Tornes Schwendeman (born 1895) on July 20, 1920. They moved to Columbus, Ohio,

where Harry found work with the United States Postal Service while Mary Schwendeman Kern

worked at The Ohio State University in the Home Economics Department. On June 2, 1923, the

couple welcomed the birth of their son, and only child, Robert Francis Kern. After their

retirement the couple moved out of their home near The Ohio State University, where they often

rented rooms to students, and built a new home. Harry Kern died in 1975, and Mary

Schwendeman Kern, who was suffering from dementia, was moved to a nursing home in

Urbana, Ohio, where she died in 1978.

Robert Francis Kern was born to Harry Leo Kern and Mary Schwendeman Kern on June 2,

1923. During the summer he visited his grandparent’s farm where he was able to visit his many

cousins. He attended high school through The Ohio State University high school program and

continued to earn his Bachelors (1947) and Masters (1950) degrees from the college. Before he

was able to graduate from The Ohio State University he was drafted in the United States Army in

1943. At Ohio State he had met Marjorie Elaine Baker, who preferred to go by Elaine. The two

were married in August of 1944 before he was assigned to the Philippines with the 540th

Amphibious Tractor Battalion. Upon his return Robert, or Bob, Kern earned his Masters degree

in business and worked on his father-in-law’s, Wendell Homer Baker’s, farm outside of Urbana,

Ohio. In 1951 Elaine and Bob welcomed the birth of their first child Gregory Allen Kern and

their second child Theodore “Ted” Robert Kern. However, with the birth of their third child

Roberta Elaine Kern in 1960, Robert Kern decided to accept a position at Wright Patterson Air

Force Base with the Logistics Command. He retired in 1984 and continued living in Urbana,

Ohio, until his death in 2014.

Marjorie Elaine Kern Baker was born in Champaign County, Ohio, on April 19, 1922, to

Wendell Homer Baker and Mary, or Marie, Decker Baker. She attended Urbana High School

before going to Christian College in the late 1930s. After her education at Christian College she


attended The Ohio State University to earn a Bachelor Degree in Education. While there she met

Robert Francis Kern and the two were married in 1944 before he was deployed to the Pacific

during World War II. She held secretarial positions for the United States Army while her

husband was overseas and while he was earning his Masters Degree. When the couple returned

to Urbana, Ohio, she took a teaching position at Urbana High School. She had three children:

Gregory Allen Kern (born 1951), Theodore “Ted” Robert Kern (born 1958), and Roberta Elaine

Kern (born 1960). Upon her retirement she continued to live in Urbana until her death in 2017.

Wilson Marion Baker (1847-1924) was the son of Peter Baker Jr. (1822-1902) and Martha

Ann Johnson Baker (1823-1896). The family owned a large farm in Champaign County and

made their living as farmers. In 1881 Wilson Baker married Lottie Pence Baker, (1858-1935)

the daughter of Allen Pence (1820-1895) and Sarah Riker Pence (1819-1885). The couple had

their son Wendell Homer Baker in 1883. The couple continued to run the family farm and

opened the Baker Egg Case Company (1881-1913) where they made wooden egg cases before

they sold it to another company in Indiana. Upon Wilson Baker’s death Wendell Homer Baker

inherited the family farms.

Wendell Homer Baker grew up in Urbana, Ohio, and married his first wife Bessie Swimley and

had a daughter Virginia. However, due to differences in personality the two were divorced. In

1921, he married Mary, or Marie, Decker Baker (1896-2000) and they had two children,

Marjorie Elaine Baker Kern and Allen Homer Baker. Allen Homer Baker worked on the family

farm after graduating from Urbana High School and married Eileen Scott Baker Kennedy

(1923-2015) before his death in 1945. Allen Homer Baker’s surviving son Allen Douglas Baker

(born 1946) still lives in Urbana, Ohio, with his second wife Anne Connell Baker. Wendell

continued working the Baker and Son Farm with his son-in-law Robert Francis Kern before he

was forced to retire and died in 1966.

Ohio, to Joseph Decker and his second wife Mary Gertrude Meyer. After going to school in

Minster she went to work in Dayton, Ohio, at a piano store owned by Wendell Baker’s uncle

James Webb Martin. The two were married in 1921 and had two children. She assisted in the

child Amanda Marie Arnold Norris in 1985 before they moved to Columbus, Ohio. There they

had two more daughters Emily Elizabeth Arnold (born 1988) and Katherine Celeste Arnold

(born 1993). After moving back to Urbana, Ohio, the two opened a restaurant in 2004 called

Joseph Decker was born in 1836 and made his living as a cooper and a shipper of freight on the

Miami and Erie Canal. He married his first wife Mary Catherine Steinemann Decker, but the

couple remained childless when she died in 1884. He then remarried Mary Gertrude Meyer

Decker (1862-1941) and they had a daughter Mary (Marie) Decker Baker in 1896. Joseph

Decker died a few months later and Mary Gertrude Meyer Decker never remarried and continued

to run her late husband’s farmlands until her death in 1941.

The Pence and Wiant families came to Champaign County, Ohio, from Virginia after the

American Revolutionary War. The families made their living as farmers and businessmen around

the village of Saint Paris, Ohio.

The Enneking, Meyer, and Steinemann families came to the United States from Germany in

the early 1800s. They travelled through Cincinnati to the lands surrounding what is now the
