The names and birthdates of these children are as follows: William George Jr. was born on October 19, 1856 in Ogden, Utah. Ruth Jean Rio was born on April 17, 1859 in Ogden, Utah. Henry was born on May 7, 1861 in Moroni, Utah. William Hayward was born on August 17, 1863 in Moroni, Utah. Frank Arnold was born on January 7, 1866 in Richfield, Utah. Mary Hannah Hayward was born on March 25, 1868 in Nephi, Utah. Walter was born on February 9, 1870 in Nephi, Utah. John Richard was born on April 27, 1872 in Nephi, Utah. Charles Fredric was born on June 21, 1874 in Richfield, Utah. Elizabeth was born on August 23, 1875 in Richfield, Utah. Eugene Hayward was born on June 6, 1878 in Richfield, Utah. Claude Vincent was born on March 20, 1881 in Richfield, Utah. Edward Lester was born on October 11, 1883 in Richfield, Utah. William Hayward died at two years old and Charles Fredric died at two months old. The parents and all the children that grew to maturity but Frank Arnold have lived in Boulder, Utah at various times. William George Jr., the eldest son, was the first to move into Boulder. In June of 1891 he left his home in Thurber (now Bicknell), Wayne County, Utah with a four horse team and a large wagon in which were his wife and five children and also a load of provisions and household goods. They traveled with their friends, the Frank Haws family, as far as the Haws Cheese Factory at Bear Creek on the south slope of the Boulder Mountain. Leaving there, George drove on to Boulder Valley, the first wagon over that route. His cattle had previously been taken there and while looking after them he had built a twenty foot square cabin on a piece of land he wished to obtain. This land, a section containing 640 acres, he filed on as what is known as a Desert Entry. Living on and improving a tract of land like this, and eventually paying the U.S. government one dollar per acre, obtains the patent or deed. All of this George did. He made a beautiful ranch and lived there nineteen years. During George’s first summer there two of his brothers, Henry and John, came to work for him. Henry remained and became his partner in the ranch and cattle business. Five years later, Henry established himself on the land of his own with one half of the cattle, horses and profits of the five years on the ranch. Henry and his family remained in Boulder ten years. In 1892, a friend of George’s, Willard Brinkerhoff from Wayne County, filed on the section east of George’s, built a cabin and did a little work on a canal that carried enough water for both sections. Two years later, Mr. Brinkerhoff became discouraged and wished to go back to Wayne County. This resulted in George trading some property Wayne County for Brinkerhoff’s interests in the 640 acres he had filed on in Boulder and in 1894 James Peterson, brother-in-law of George, came into Boulder on a visit, became interest in obtaining land and George let him have a part of the Brinkerhoff property. He moved his family into the house Brinkerhoff had built and a year later he built a house on his own part of the section. His wife was Ruth Jean Rio (Jane), the third Baker to come to Boulder to live. In the year 1897, George’s father, William George Sr., wrote a letter to George asking how he could obtain land as he, too, with his wife and two unmarried sons, Claude Vincent and Edward, and one daughter, Elizabeth, wished to move to Boulder. Another son, Eugene, was living with George. On receipt of the letter from his father, George went to Richfield to help his father move into Boulder, giving him a tract of land from the Brinkerhoff section and encouraged the boys to homestead land adjoining. In about 1896, John Baker returned to Boulder, brining his wife and two little daughters, Alta and Melba. John filed on a homestead claim, one line of which joined the Brinkerhoff section. He moved into the old Brinkerhoff house until he could build his own house. This family lived in Boulder five or six years and then sold their interests and moved back to Richfield. In the year 1898, Victor E. Bean, who was also a brother-in-law of George, having married Mary Hannah Baker, came to Boulder and George made it possible for him to obtain the remaining part of the Brinkerhoff section. He, too, moved his family into the old Brinkerhoff house and spent five summers there. He had signed a contract to teach school in Escalante, a town twenty-five miles away. He bought a home in Escalante and taught each winter for five years then sold all his property in Escalante and Boulder and moved to La Grande, Oregon. Walter Baker filed on a homestead claim in Boulder sometime in the 1890’s and built a cabin, but went away and did not return until about 1907. He came then with his wife and three children. Two other children were born to them. Walter died in September of 1912. His widow, Sophia Boyce Baker, sold her Boulder property and moved to Logan, Utah. Elizabeth Baker went back to Richfield in 1901. She married Thomas Ogden of Richfield and never returned to Boulder. Eugene Baker married Rhoda Cottam in 1899 and spent two years in Boulder after his marriage and then moved away, having obtained property in Escalante. Claude V. Baker lived in Boulder from the time he was sixteen years old until his death at the age of sixty-four. He married Lillie Liston of Escalante in 1902. Their family of five sons and two daughters grew up in Boulder. The daughters moved away at the time of their marriage. The sons eventually moved away. Only two of them were still in Boulder at the time of their father’s death in 1945. One of these, Lester, the youngest son, died. His widow with their four sons moved away in 1960. Only one son and his family remained in Boulder at that time. He sold his property and moved away in 1960, the last of the Boulder Bakers. All in all there had lived in Boulder 68 persons by the name of Baker and many relatives by marriage, between the dates of June 1891 and October 1960. There is no one left in Boulder by the name of Baker at this date of 1961. Below is a list of surnames of residents of Boulder during the time the place has been settled: Black, Bowers, Barney, Alvey, Combs, Coleman, Cornelles, Durfee, George, Gresham, Gledhill, Grimes, Hall, Haws, Hansen, Jepson, King, Lyman, Leavitt, Liston, Martin, McNelly, Mooseman, McGath, Nasor, Ogden, Ormond, Osborn, Poulson, Sheffield, Safely, Simons, Thompson, Walcott, Woolsey, Wilson and De Long.
