Osro Baldwin



Osro Baldwin, (uncle of Charles Baldwin, one of the early County clerks) was one of the early settlers on Seven Mile creek. He lived on a part of the land now owned by J. W. Brown. He lived in a cave more than a year, and built a house in 1857 which still stands. Mr. Baldwin died on the farm, and his widow, who was kindly known as "Aunt Phebe Baldwin," now resides in Colorado.
