Surnames: Baldwin Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Bm.2ADE/68 Message Board Post: “The Eureka Herald” 20 Sep 1889 Baldwin – At the residence of the family in Otter Creek township, Monday, September 16, 1889, of cancer of the throat, Maude, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Baldwin, aged about 12 years. The funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday morning, and were very largely attended. For several months past the parents, relatives and friends of little Maude knew that a fatal malady was preying upon her, and that her death was only a question of time. The saddest of all things, the watching of a dearly beloved child fade away into death, has been the lot of the parents, and they have borne it with Christian strength and fortitude. Peace and freedom from suffering has come to their little daughter, and in this they find their only consolation. She was a sweet little girl, tender and loving, and her death, though for a long time expected, is a sad bereavement, indeed. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is with the family in their affliction.
