The "One of the family" would have been William A. Baker who died in 1973, aged 93 years, and is buried in the Glen Alice Cemetery.

THE BAKER FAMILY
The Baker family, well known in the district for many years, had an original area of over 1,000 acres situated to the north of the village of Glen Alice.
One of the family still lives in the Valley. He resides at the cottage which is used as the Glen Alice post office and telephone exchange.
Despite Mr. Baker’s eighty-four years, he is a mine of information and clearly recalls personalities and incidents relating to the settlers who lived there when he was a child.
