Honey Rhinesmith and Robert Baker, who met as students at Bucknell College in Lewisburg,
Pa., were married at St. Joseph’s Church in 1944. Both were 20 years old. A roofer, Baker was
assigned to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II. The couple built a home at
Lindy’s Lake in West Milford, where they raised their children; years later, while clearing her
parents’ home for resale, daughter Kitty Baker Sarro found piles of the Pequannock Valley
Argus in their attic, and donated them to North Jersey Media Group. The newspapers lend
insight into turn-of-the-century life in the area, with reporting about the failed local buck-
wheat crop, and a Newfoundland man who “still remains in the asylum.”
