Hiram Baker (more often referred to as "Doc Baker" or simply "Doc") is the friendly doctor and veterinarian who services Walnut Grove and the surrounding areas. His office is located in the same building as the post office; he rarely worked with help except on a few occasions. For example, when Harriet Oleson's niece Kate came to visit, she accompanied him during his rounds. During this time Doctor Baker fell in love with Kate and proceeded to court her, until he was honest with himself and realized the fact that he was much too old for her.
Years later, when many of the townspeople from Walnut Grove moved to Winoka, he stayed to look after Lars Hanson.
