On the kitchen table of this house on the morning of November 6, 1880, Mrs. Luther Lucas, a farmer’s wife, was delivered of a healthy infant son after a mid-line incision made by Dr. Moses Baker, a pioneer physician-surgeon of Stockwell. Observed by six attending doctors who refused responsibility for the success or failure, it became the first case in Indiana medical history in which both mother and child lived.
