- At the Old Ladies' Home, 425 Ellis
Avenue, Chicago, Ill., Nov 14, 1902, Mrs.
- Nancy BALDWIN, in the 95th year
of her age.
- Mrs. BALDWIN was converted to
Christ and to the Sabbath in early womanhood,
- and united with the Seventh-day Baptist
church in Bolivar (now Richburg), N.Y. At the same place she
was united in marriage to Lewis G. BALDWIN. After a few
years in the lumber regions of Pennsylvania, they moved to Canada,
and sometime about 1840 they came to Wisconsin, settling in Milton,
which has been their home until Mr. BALDWIN's death, some
eight or ten years ago. Two years ago "Auntie BALDWIN"
was taken to the Home in Chicago, that she might receive better
care than it was possible to give her in a private home. In one
branch of her family Mrs. BALDWIN was a member of the
distinguished WEBSTER family, a fact which she commemorated
in the name of her only son who was familiarly known for sixty
years in Milton and vicinity as Webster BALDWIN. Her maiden
name was COLT, her father being a near kinsman of Samuel
COLT, of Hartford, Conn., the inventor and manufacturer
of the firearms bearing that name. Mrs. BALDWIN possessed
the strength of character which her distinguished ancestry would
naturally lead one to expect in her. Clearness of mental vision,
intensity of conviction, and conscientious adherence to her faith,
made her a woman whose life was full of blessing to all who,
in any way, came under the influence of her long and useful life.
During the long period of sixty years she was a loyal member
of the Seventh-day Baptist church in Milton. L. A. P. [Vol.
59, No. 1, p. 15]
- Marvel Amanda HUFFMAN, wife
of Dea. Loander ALLEN, was born in Ohio
- Aug. 5, 1835, and died at Milton Junction,
Wis., Dec. 28, 1902.
- Sister ALLEN made a profession
of faith in Christ when she was about twenty years
- of age, and when the Milton Junction
Seventh-day Baptist church was organized she was among its constituent
members, and continued in this membership till death. She was
married to Dea. ALLEN Feb. 19, 1867. She leaves an affectionate
husband, feeble in health, three sisters, and many other friends
to mourn their loss. G. J. C. [Vol. 59, No. 1, p. 15]
