Miss Judy Baldwin passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Baker, west of town, on Sunday morning, February 4, 1951, after an extended illness from a complication of ailments. She was 21 years, 10, months, and 23 days of age.

Julia Fay Baldwin was born March 12, 1929, in Sioux City, Iowa. When about three years of age, she came to Akron with her parents and has lived here ever since, except when she was away at school.

She was baptized and confirmed in the Immanuel Lutheran Church here and was an active member of the church, being a teacher in the Sunday school and a member of the curch choir. Her faith in her Saviour and Lord was a source of strength, help and endurance during many weeks of illness. She was always interested in others and found great delight in doing deeds of kindness. Her bright and cheerful nature endeared her to all who gained her aquaintances.

D.; one step-sister, Mrs. Barbara Burnight, of Washington D. D.; two step-brothers, Jack Baker, of Akron, and Slade Bader, of Tacoma, Wssh.; her grandmother, Mr. Fred Irwin, of San Francisco, Calif.; many other relatives, as well as a great number of friends, who extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
