Baldwin, a well known and highly respected citizen of Akron, passed away at his home here Monday evening, July 1, 1940, after an extended illness of heart trouble and complications, at the age of 78 years, 3 months and 8 days. Joseph Martin Baldwin, son of Walter and Phoebe Ann Baldwin, was born March 23, 1862, at Long Island, N. Y. The family moved to Jones county, Iowa, when he was but seven years old. Here he grew to manhood. It was at Amber, Jones county, Iowa, that on March 4, 1884, he was married to Sophronia Wright. To this union seven children--six boys and one girl—were born, two of whom preceded him in death. LeRoy P. died in Akron, March 12, 1920, and Charles A. died at the Methodist hospital in Sioux City, October 4, 1934. The family remained in Jones county until 1887, when they moved to Esmond, S. D., for three years. Then they moved to Washta, Cherokee county, Iowa, and after two years they moved to Adaville, Plymouth county, Iowa, which was their home for twenty-five years. They came to Akron in 1917 and have lived in the same house practically ever since. He had been a farmer all but two years of his life. He joined the church in youth and has been a loyal member ever since. While at Adaville he belonged to the United Brethren church there, and on coming to Akron he united with the Methodist church until called to the church triumphant. , His fullest allegiance was given to his church and home. In his parental home, he had five brothers and two sisters. His parents, three brothers and two sisters have preceded him in death. He has two brothers living at Cushing, Iowa. In his immediate family, his wife and life companion, and five children, Allerta May Waddle, of Waubay, S. D.; Oscar James, of Akron; Walter Martin, of Sioux City; Lloyd Dewith, of Adaville, and Clarence Ellsworth, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, remain to cherish his memory. He also leaves thirteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren to call him blessed, and a host of friends have been enriched by knowing him. Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Lease, who used as his sermon text, "For Me to Live is Christ, and to Die is Gain." The Misses Mary and Eunice Burket sang beautiful hymns, with accompaniment by Mrs. Pearl Pollock. Acting as pallbearers were Warren King, L. K. Burket, H. H. Wetzeler, Herbert Johnson, Adam Tindall and Andrew Andersen. Interment was in Riverside cemetery.
