Mrs. Hiram Baldwin

Mrs Hiram K. Baldwin (Leonora Howland) died at her home on East Main street Milford, Saturday night after a few weeks illness with lung trouble. She suffered from a slight shock about two years ago, but apparently had recovered from that. She had the grip about a month ago, then Mr Baldwin who has been in poor health for some time suffered a shock from over-doing, and she got about too soon and the consequences were as stated.

Mrs Baldwin was the only daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Ira Howland, was born on Eggleston Hill about sixty-eight years ago. She moved here from Westville several years ago, and soon made a place for herself in the hearts of the people. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and always in her place on Sunday when health permitted. She was a loyal member of the Sunday school and Ladies' Aid Society, in all of which she will be sadly missed. She was also an earnest worker in the Village Improvement society, of which she was president for several years. She was always cheerful. We shall miss her. The funeral is to be held at the house Thursday afternoon at one thirty o'clock. The Rev. H.E. Brooks will officiate assisted by the Rev. N.B. Ripley. Burial will be in the family plot at Westville. Mr Baldwin lies critically ill at this writing unconscious Wednesday evening with no hopes.
