Read More	ISAAC W. BALDWIN, editor and proprietor of the Cascade Pioneer; is a son of William Baldwin and Mary Slichter, and was born Jan. 31, 1835, at Blair, Waterloo Co., Canada West; he removed, with his parents, in 1846, to Saginaw, Mich., and, in 1853, came with them to Cascade, Iowa. His father was a tanner and currier, therefore young Isaac was trained to the same trade until coming to Iowa, when his father went to farming, and the subject of this sketch went to Galena and served as Assistant Postmaster from 1854 to 1866; he was also, a portion of the time, proprietor of the De Soto House; the latter was conducted on a very liberal plan, and did not prove a paying investment; an example of his liberality is seen in the grand farewell entertainment which he gave to Lieut. Gen. U.S. Grant in 1865, prior to the General's departure for Washington; this was the society event of the season; Gen. Dick Oglesby, Gen. John A. Logan, Gov. Cullom, Hon. E.B. Washburne, Jesse K. Dubois and other State notables were present. Mr. Baldwin was married in Galena, on the 17th of November, 1860, to Miss Hellen Mackay, a daughter of Col. Eneas Mackay, of the U.S. Army; his children by this union are Bruce Legate, born April 29, 1862; Waltenham Eugene, Oct. 29,1863; Maud Mary,, Nov. 21, 1865; Charles Dunn, Oct. 2, 1867, and Hellen M., Sept. 5, 1869. Mrs. H. Baldwin died Jan. 17, 1872. After leaving the post office in Galena, Mr. Baldwin resided in St. Louis until the autumn of 1867, when he returned to Cascade, where he has since resided; he was, for several years, connected with Frank May in the liquor business; then, for a year, he managed the American House, and in June, 1877, became editor and proprietor of the Cascade Pioneer, which is the only paper now published in this city. On the 23d of September, 1874, he married his second wife, Miss Jean Hays McGregor, daughter of Joseph McGregor, of Dubuque, by whom he has three children-Mae Bernice, born Aug. 15, 1875; Frank Leckly, Dec. 16, 1876, and Maggie, Dec. 22,1878; Hellen and Maggie both died in infancy. Mr. Baldwin has been Justice of the Peace for six years in Whitewater Township. He has been a Democrat from early boyhood, but was a loyal supporter of the Government during the rebellion, his model statesman being Stephen A. Douglas and not Jeff Davis; he represented the Democracy of Jo Daviess Co., Ill., in State Convention continuously from 1856 to 1862; was Chairman of the Third Congressional District in 1866, and stumped the district with Hon. Thomas J. Turner, and against Hon. E.B. Washburne. He is a member of the Odd Fellows, and is the Master Workman i the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is a ready writer and public-spirited citizen. In religion he is liberal. The Pioneer is Independent. Submitted by Cheryl Moonen ~
