Baldwin live on _____, near Gray.All except on son were at her bedside during her illness and at her death.She united herself with the church early in life and was always an exemplary christian, giving abundant evidence during her sickness that all was well.She leaves to mourn a husband, five children, three brothers, Abram T.

"Oh, what is death?til a fleeting thing
A simple blessed change
Tis rending a chain that the soul may gain.
A higher and broader range.
Unbounded space is its dwelling place,
Where no human foot hath trod
But everywhere doth it feel the care
And changeless love of God."
