    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 50, No 36, p 576, Sep. 6, 1894. At Milton, Wis., Aug. 26, 1894, Lewis G. Baldwin, aged 89 years, 2 months and 12 days. He was united in marriage in 1827 to Miss Nancy Colt, in Otselic, N. Y. They lived together in the marriage state 66 years, 9 months and 28 days. They came to Milton to reside 50 years ago. Mr. Baldwin's family connections were of a high order; a Vermonter by birth, his father was a deacon in the Baptist church and his older brother a Baptist minister. He was a superior mechanic, honest and reliable in all the relations of life. He experienced religion in early life, and at his death was a member in good standing of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Milton. His companion survives him. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, assisted by President Whitford. E. M. D. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 59, No 1, p 15, Jan. 5, 1903. 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. They Came to Milton http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
