Tyler S. Baldwin came to Rockville in 1835 and became the partner of P. E. Harris in the dry goods and grocery business. At that time this grocery store did the largest business in the county. A few years later Mr. Harris retired and George W. Sill & James Depew became partners of Mr. Baldwin under the firm of Tyler S. Baldwin & Co. Mr. Baldwin was, until his death, September 24, 1849, a man of great prominence in both county seat and county. He built the brick residence which all older people of Rockville will remember at the south end of Jefferson St. Here most of the family died. All have tombstones in the old part of the Rockville cemetery. With this exception there is nothing of record concerning a family once among the social leaders of this community. - Parke County Indiana Centennial Memorial, 1816-1916, Page 113
