Amelia R. Baker [3258]
- Born: Abt 1847, Massachusetts
 Research Notes:
"It is interesting to note that the women in the congregation had no voice in church matters, apparently, before 1871, when Sophia Taylor was put on the Sunday-school committee, and Amelia R. Baker, Laura H. Sears and Abbie Taylor appointed to have charge of the church music. In 1887, Phebe G. Baker, Elvira Loring, and Mary C. Fuller were elected Stewards, thus becoming the first women members of the Official Board, offices which Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Loring held until death."
