Owenton Police Chief Hensley Baldwin, 66, died 6 a.m. Sunday at St. Joseph hospital, Lexington, following a short illness. A native of Owen , he was the son of William T. and Effie Stewart Baldwin, and was a member of the Cedar Hill Baptist church.
Baldwin joined the police department in January, 1966, and served as night patrolman for six months. He later became a fulltime policeman and was appointed chief October 24, 1967, where he served until his death.

He had also been a member of the Owenton and Owen County Volunteer Fire Departments for over 20 tears.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Mona Davis Baldwin; a daughter, Mrs. Doris Ann Riley, Owenton; and three grandchildren.
Services were conducted Tuesday at Kemper and Arnold by Rev. Wayne Kelly with burial in Owenton cemetery. Members of the fire department served as pallbearers.
