Death of Mrs. Baldwin
Mrs. Mary Baldwin, wife of G. [ranville] R. Baldwin, of Bedford, died at the hospital at Maryville this morning at 7:30. The body will arrive on the late train today, and the funeral will probably be held Saturday, although at the present time no definite arrangements have [been] made.

Mrs. Mary Baldwin died at the hospital at Maryville, Mo., at 7:35 a. m. on Thursday, November 21st, age 57 years, 10 months and 7 days. The body was shipped to Bedford, and the funeral services were held at the home on Saturday at 10:30 a. m., conducted by Rev. Henry. Interment at Fairview.
Mary Moon was born on January 14, 1850, at Elkston [Ilkerston], Derbyshire, England, and that was her home until she was 16 years of age. In 1866, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Moon, decided to leave England and make their home in America, and Mary, together with her brothers and sisters, accompanied them. Unlike a great many immigrants who come to this country, Mr. and Mrs. Moon did not stop near the sea coast but pushed on westward until they reached Sandwich, Illinois, where they made their home for six years.
In 1872 Mr. Moon with his family moved to Taylor County and settled near Conway. It was while her parents lived there that Miss Mary decided to visit old friends at Sandwich, Illinois and during that visit she met G. [ranville] R. Baldwin, to whom she gave her heart and hand, and with whom she lived happily until the day of her death. The marriage occurred on March 25, 1878, and for five years thereafter the newly wedded pair resided on the old home place of the Baldwin family near Sandwich. In 1883 Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin moved to Taylor County and settled on the farm just north of Bedford. They lived there until 1902, when the dread disease which eventually caused Mrs Baldwin’s death begun to manifest itself, and she and her husband decided to move to town where she might take life more easily. It was thought that by skillful medical care and rest Mrs. Baldwin might recover her failing health, but the hope was vain. Her decline was slow, but only too sure, and though tender, loving care long postponed the inevitable end, it came at last.
No children ever came to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin, and she lavished all the love of her heart upon her husband and home. Of a retiring nature, this disposition was accentuated by her ill health, so that Mrs. Baldwin mixed but little in society and her circle of acquaintances was not large. But to those who knew her she was a true friend and an agreeable companion. The comfort of her husband, the welfare of her home were to her the essentials of a contented life. Her sphere was not large, but within it she was all a true woman should be---loving, self-sacrificing and womanly.
The parents of Mrs. Baldwin have been dead some years, her father dying in 1896, her mother in 1904. The surviving brothers and sisters are William Moon, Mr. M. Mincks, Mrs. R. McClure and Mrs. Dowlin, all of whom reside in this county, and were present at the obsequies.

Obituary
Mrs. Mary Baldwin was born in Ilkerston, Derbyshire, England, January 14, 1850, and died at the hospital at Maryville, Mo., Thursday morning, November 21, 1907.
At the age of 16 years she came to this country with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Moon, and settled at Sandwich, Ill., where they lived for 6 years. They then moved to Taylor County, locating on a farm near Conway. It was while living there that the subject of this sketch returned to Sandwich for a visit, and it was there that she met Mr. G. [ranville] R. Baldwin. The acquaintance thus formed soon ripened into love that terminated in their marriage on March 25, 1878. They immediately commenced housekeeping on a farm belonging to Mr. Baldwin, near Sandwich, where they remained until the spring of 1883; they then moved to Taylor County, Mr. Baldwin purchasing what was known as the old Bank farm north of town. There they remained, living a happy and quiet life, until in 1902, failing health of Mrs. Baldwin compelled them to sell out, and they then moved to Bedford, buying the Dorn residence, which has since been their home.
For the past few years, Mrs. Baldwin has been suffering from a tumor in the stomach. Getting no medical relief she decided on the more heroic treatment of the surgeon. Accordingly on November 12, she went to Maryville and entered the hospital and on the 18th underwent the operation for the removal of the tumor, confident all the time that it meant relief from her intense suffering and a speedy recovery. This was not to be, however, and on the morning of the 21st she passed quietly away. Her husband was with her at the hospital.
The deceased was a woman of many noble traits. She was a kind and loving wife and helpmeet and a fond sister. When in health she was a regular attendant at the Presbyterian Church, and was held in high esteem by all who knew her.
The remains were brought here Thursday noon and taken to the late home, and on Saturday forenoon at 10:30, the funeral was held there, conducted by Rev. S. E. Henry and interment was in Fairview cemetery.
She leaves a heartbroken husband and one brother, Wm. Moon, and three sisters, Mrs. Fannie Mincks, Mrs. Mattie McClure and Mrs. Sarah Dowlin, to mourn her death. The brother and sisters all reside near Blockton and were in attendance at the funeral. Frank Baldwin and Mrs. May Wyckoff, of York, Neb, brother and sister of Mr. G. R. Baldwin, were also here. The bereaved have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.
