Waynetown Ind March 27 - Sunday morning at 3 o'clock occurred the death of Elias Baldwin after 4 days' severe illness. Mr. Baldwin has been a sufferer from rheumatism for the past 25 years. His feet and hands were badly drawn but he could obtain relief by taking treatment at Hot Springs, Ark. Two weeks ago he went to the springs, but was so poorly he was compelled to return home Wednesday and did not again rally and death came as a relief to his suffering. He was born in Butler County, Ohio Aug 6, 1840 coming to Indiana soon after and has always been a resident of Montgomery County, residing here in town the past 25 years. He has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Grenard and two children are yet living of this first marriage, Mrs. Bastian of New Richmond and Mrs. Brannon living here. His second marriage was to Miss Westfall and the widow and one son, Mahlon survive. The funeral services will take place at the Baptist Church here Tuesday at 2 p.m. and be in charge of the Waynetown F&AM Lodge of which he was a long time member. The sermon will be by Rev. John G. Benson of Terre Haute who formerly was a resident here and warm friend of the family. Mr. Baldwin leaves one brother, Joseph who lives here and several (rest of obit gone) - kbz
