Henry C. Baer, one of the highly esteemed and venerable citizens of Rosedale, Muhlenberg township, Berks county, who is an honored veteran of the Civil war, was born Oct. 7, 1839, about one and one-half miles from Topton, Longswamp township, son of Charles and Anna (Carl) Baer. ...
Henry C. Baer was educated in the common schools of Longswamp township, and as a boy he assisted his father on the home farm, later learning the trade of a carpenter. On completing his apprenticeship to this trade, Mr. Baer went to New Jersey, where in 1862, he enlisted in Company F, 31st New Jersey V. I., and served until his term of enlistment expired in 1863, when he returned to New Jersey and resumed his occupation. On Jan. 1, 1864, Mr. Baer returned to Topton, Pa., where he accepted a position as clerk for P. L. Deener & Co., in the coal, lumber and grain business, but in 1865 he resumed his trade, which he followed in Philadelphia until 1867. He then returned to Topton, where he remained until 1882, at which time he went to Lyons, remaining about one year, and subsequently located in Reading, accepting a position at Fink & Huyett's planing mill, where he remained for about eighteen years. He then resigned to accept a position with the Excelsior planing mill, where he remained until 1906, and in this year connected himself with the Riverside Planing Mill Company. Mr. Baer built a nice residence in Rosedale, Muhlenberg township, and also owns several valuable lots there, where he is highly esteemed and respected. Like his honored ancestors, he has always been a firm believer in Reformation, and during his younger years was very active in Church and Sunday-school work, serving for many years as a choir leader. In his political views he is a stanch Democrat, and he was formerly connected with several fraternal organizations.
Mr. Henry C. Baer was married (first) in 1865, to Mary A. Bobst and to this union there were born two children: John H., died at the age of eight weeks; and Ella L., m. Einar Barfod, by whom she has two children, ? Maria and Laura. Mr. Baer married (second) April 10, 1872, Lucy A. Lasher, daughter of Jacob and Lucena (Dietrich) Lasher, and to this union there were born five children, namely; William F., m. Ella Machamer, and has three children living, Charles E., Stanley L. and A. Marguerite; Anna L. m. G. A. Crotto, and has three children, George H. A., Frank B. and Charles A.; Naomi m. William S. Burg, and has one child, A. Ruth B.; Hannah m. Capt. Al. B. Risley, of New Jersey; and George makes his home with his father in Rosedale.
