Louisa Amanda Rose was the daughter of Susana Brown (1792-1849) and Daniel Rose (1781-1869). She married Henry Clay Baldwin on Mar 25, 1858, in Blackford County, Indiana.

Henry and Louisa were the parents of ten children according to the 1910 census and an obituary for his wife. Apparently five died in infancy or early childhood and are buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Montpelier, Blackford County, Indiana. Some of this is guess work but we believe the list is now complete. We have identified them as:
Baby Girl 1859-1859
Amos Kenwood Baldwin 1860-1883
Martha Hortense "Mattie" 1862-1955
Emma L. 1865-1948
Charles E. 1867-1871
Henry H. 1869- by 1877
William Lewis 1872-1956
Baby Boy 1874-1874
Edith M. 1875-1876
Winifred D. "Winnie" 1877-1959

There are only 5 Baldwin stones in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Blackford County, Indiana. They are similar in size and appearance and are all for infants or young children whose years of birth logically could have been attributed to Louisa.

There is also a small stone that resembles the footstones for Henry and Louisa near their graves in Kansas. It says Baby Baldwin, but has no dates. As Louisa was 43 years old and already the mother of 10 children when they migrated to Kansas, I believe this stone may be for a grandchild born in Kansas. Another reason for thinking this is that Henry, the first to die, did so in 1911. The Baldwin headstone for Henry and Louisa probably was not placed in the cemetery until after his death. Louisa would have been well past child bearing years by then. Please contact me if you have more information regarding this "Baby Baldwin."
