BAKER, DANIEL, clergyman, author, was born Aug. 17, 1791,
in Midway, Ga. He gained such a reputation as an effective
preacher that his services were in demand as a revivalist. After
1830 he continued as an evangelist, traveling in the south, and
at last settled in Austin, Texas, where he founded a college
and became its first president. Among his published works are
A Scriptural View of Baptism; An Affectionate Address to
Mothers, and one to Fathers; Baptism in a Nutshell; and
Revival Sermons. His memoirs, prepared by his son, were
published in Philadelphia in 1859. He died Dec. 10, 1857, in
Austin, Texas.
