BAKER, HENRY M., lawyer, congressman, was born Jan.
11, 1841, in Bow, N. H. He graduated from the New
Hampshire Conference seminary in 1859, Dartmouth
College in 1863, and the Columbian College Law school
in 1866, and admitted to the bar the same year. He was a
clerk in the war and treasury departments, and later practiced
law in Washington, D. C. He was judge-advocate-general of
the National guard of New Hampshire in 1886-87, with the
rank of brigadier-general; and was a member of the state
senate in 1891-92. He was elected to the fifty-third congress
as a republican from the second district of New Hampshire,
and in 1894 was re-elected by a greatly increased majority.
He was not again a candidate for re-election. In congress he
served on the judiciary and other important committees.
Several of his speeches were printed in pamphlet form and
extensively circulated.
