MRS. BALDWIN, ANOTHER OLD SETTLER, PASSES AWAY AFTER FEW DAYS ILLNESS OF
PNEUMONIA

Mrs. David Baldwin, of Fredonia township, one of the pioneer residents of
Plymouth county, died at her home early on Saturday morning, after a few
days illness, pneumonia being the cause of her death.

Mrs. Baldwin was one of the very early settlers in Plymouth county, coming
here when a girl with her husband, David Baldwin, in 1869, they taking up a
homestead.

Her maiden name was Freelove Chase, and she was born in Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, on March 22, 1849, where she was reared and educated. She was
united in marriage in her native place with David Baldwin in 1869, and
shortly afterwards they came west, locating on section 23, Fredonia
township, this county. At the time of her death, she was making her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Albert Lundgren, in the same township. Her husband
died several years ago. She is survived by five children, four sons and a
daughter. They are Fred Baldwin, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Lora, of
Fredonia township; Walter and Herbert, who reside in Charles Mix county,
South Dakota; and Grace, who is now Mrs. Albert Lundgren. Mr. Baldwin died
six years ago.

Mrs. Baldwin was well known by the older settlers and her death is regretted
by a large circle of friends.

The funeral was held yesterday morning at the Seney Methodist church, Rev.
C. E. Stevens, the pastor officiating.
