Cyrus O. Baker

Cyrus Osborne Baker was one of the veterans of the army of business and finance in New York, though a resident of New Jersey. After experimenting in manufacturing and banking, he formed a brokerage firm, which he continued until his death at the age of seventy. He was a collector of pictures and rare books, and to him was dedicated the American Anthology of his fellow-Centurion, Mr. Stedman. He was, though a native of Georgia, one of the organizers of the Republican Party in New Jersey, and from the time of the famous Frémont campaign, its ardent and active supporter.
