Seth Weaver Baldwin
Born December 7, 1880, in Naugatuck, Conn., the son of Henry Chalmers Baldwin (died January 15, 1897) and Mellicent Ann (Bingham) Baldwin. He prepared at the Naugatuck High School, and in college received honors in mathematics, and was a member of Sigma Xi. He is unmarried.
Since August, 1907, Baldwin has been claims attorney for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. He writes:
"After graduating in 1904 I entered Yale Law School and in 1906 received an LL. B. degree. The summer previous to my last year in law school I worked in the law office of Watrous & Day in New Haven. While I should have been in law school I also took a month or so off and was during that time connected with the Medford Woolen Mill of Medford, Mass., doing some special work there. After graduating from law school and being admitted to practice in the state of Connecticut, I was connected with the office of Watrous & Day until August, 1907, when I became connected with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company as claims attorney for the state of Connecticut. I am also claims attorney for some other carriers whose interests are closely allied with the New Haven Road. In April, 1909, my territory was extended so as to require me to maintain an office in New York as well as in New Haven. At present writing I am claims attorney for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company; the Central New England Railroad Company; the New England Navigation Company; the Connecticut Company; the New York & Stamford Street Railway Company and the West Chester Railroad Company."
Baldwin is a member of the New York Yale Club, the Graduates, Lawn, and Yacht Clubs of New Haven, and of Corbey Court (Yale Law School).
