WITH WOMEN
OF TODAY
Mrs. Nancy Baker, 99, of Galena,
111., was personally acquainted
with four presidents of the United
States. Three of them sat in her
kitchen and ate her gingersnaps.
Mrs. Baker was born in England
in 1825. She came to Galena with
her husband in 1852 and bought
a brick cottage. To the right
of the cottage was a store con
ducted by Ulysses S. Grant. On
the other side lived the Kohlsaat
family. Both families liked the
gingersnaps that Mrs. Baker made.
When Abraham Lincoln was
stumping Illinois debating with
Douglas he visited Galena and

Mrs. Nancy Baker.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker speht an eve
ning with him at his hotel. This
friendship lasted until Lincoln’s
assassination.
Grant went to war at the head
of a company of Illinois troops,
became leader of the union army
and eventually went into the
white house as the nation’s chief
executive. In 1893 Galena decid
ed to honor Grant by having a
public celebration on the date of
his birth. It was deemed fitting
that a nationally known speaker

Herman Kohlsatt, journalist and
politician, of Chicago (formerly
Baker’s next door neighbor), se
cured his friend, William McKin
ley, then governor of Ohio, as
the speaker.
After McKinley’s speech he was
taken by Kohlsaat to call upon
Mrs. Baker. Kohlsaat spoke feel
ingly of Mrs. Baker’s ginger
snaps. Mrs. Baker said she had
just baked a batch so they all
went into the kitchen to sample
them and J&r. McKinley praised
them highly.
More Gingersnaps.
Seven years later Galena called
upon Mr. Kohlsaat for another
speaker. He brought Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York.
The inevitable visit to the Baker
cottage was made and Mr. Kohl
saat mentioned the gingersnaps.
Strangely enough there was a
fresh batch in the kitchen. Col.
Roosevelt and Mr. Kohlsaat were
invited to dip into the same cookie
box that had stood on the shelf
for half a century. Colonel
Roosevelt took a gingersnap, bit
into it, chuckled and said, “By
George, Mrs. Baker, you make the
best gingersnaps I ever tasted.
Then he filled his pockets.
Good Health.
Mrs. Baker enjoys good health.
The story of the visits of the
presidents-to-be to her cottage
was told by Mr. Kohlsaat in his
reminiscences, which were pub
lished two years ago. His death
recently was a severe blow to Mrs.
Baker.
it My last gingersnaps were bak
ed eight years ago,” she said in
an interview on her 99th birth
day. ti I packed them in that old
cookie box and sent them to Her
man Kohlsaat at Chicago. t>
