Шаблон:Short description David Hume Baker (October 7, 1841 – June 1, 1917) was a state senator in the US states of Kentucky and Florida. His historic home, which was built between 1886 and 1890,[1] still stands in Wildwood, Florida,[2] and hosts various events.[3][4] The home was built in what was then the community of Orange Home, Florida.[5] The Baker House was part of a 1,200-acre property. The house stayed in the family for several generations before it was sold to the City of Wildwood in 2012. A historical marker was added at the site of the Baker House in 2019 by the Timucua Chapter of the Colonial Dames of the 17th Century.[6][7]

During the Civil War, Baker served in the Union Army as a member of the 12th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment. He was a state senator in Kentucky from 1873 until 1875.[8] Baker then moved from Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, to Orange Home, Florida.[9] Baker served in the Florida Legislature from 1886 until 1890.[6]

He married Mary Hanah Matthis; they had one son, David Mathias Baker.[10] He is buried with his wife Mary (1844–1932) at Arlington National Cemetery.[11] His son was part of the Ingraham Expedition.[12]
