    1. A. Webster Baldwin 1829-1885
    2. Jon in Omaha
    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 41, No 25, p 8, June 18, 1885. In Janesville, Wis., May 29, 1885, A. Webster Baldwin, in the 57th year of his age. His disease was a cancerous affection of the stomach, from which he suffered intensely for about six months. He was at the time of his death, the Clerk of the Court of Rock County, which office he had filled continuously for 17 years. As an evidence of his efficiency and the high esteem in which he was held, the Court adjourned at his death and at his funeral. The Judge remarked on the occasion, "I have known A. W. Baldwin for more than 35 years; and in every walk of life, in every duty he has been called upon to perform, he has shown himself upright, honorable and just." Mr. Baldwin's former home was in Milton, Wis., where his aged parents still reside as members of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place. For over twenty years he was a trustee of Milton College; and during most of that time its valuable secretary. He was distinctively a lover of his fellow-men, and in all his positions of life, he was helpful, courteous, scrupulously exact, and most highly respected. He will be greatly missed by his parents, by his wife and two daughters, and by a very large circle of friends. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. S. B. Loomis, of Lone Rock, Wis., and Pres. W. C. Whitford, of Milton College; and at the grave, by the Knights of Templars. A large concourse of people was in attendance. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders
