ROGERS/ ULYSS M BALDWIN Thousands Attend Officer's Funerals Interment Made Close Together in Greenwood Cemetery Two great mounds of flowers, nature's sweetest emblems of love and respect, mark the last resting place of Officers Baldwin and Rogers, slain while in the line of duty. The final chapters of the lives of these officers were written Saturday and Sunday when one of the largest and also the largest gathering of people turned from the cares of life to pay their last respect to slain officers and consign their bodies to the final resting place in Greenwood cemetery just to the south of Rison. They were here from all walks of life; some came from adjoining counties, while not a single neighborhood in Cleveland county failed to send one or more to witness the last sad rites. The remains of Officer Baldwin were interred in Greenwood cemetery Sunday afternoon amid scenes that are without a parallel in Rison and Cleveland county. By far the largest crowd to attend a burial in Greenwood cemetery covered the high hill which overlooks Rison to the north, and add to the scene was the assemblage of over 100 Klansmen in full regalia. Funeral services at the Methodist church of which Baldwin was a member were impressive but simple. As the remains entered the church attended by members of the Masonic fraternity, the Rev. B.F. Musser, pastor of the church, read the burial ritual while Beethoven's funeral march was played. After vocal selections and a prayer, Rev. Musser delivered a touching funeral sermon in which he pointed out the fearlessness and faithfulness of Baldwin as an officer. He told of his home life and of his battle against death. His wife, who had been constantly at his side since shortly after he was mortally wounded, sat beside the corpse throughout the funeral services. Rev. B.F. Fitzhugh, pastor of Carr Memorial Methodist church Pine Bluff, in a short talk told of his meeting with Officer Baldwin a short while before death and of the peace of mind and soul of the deceased and lauded him for his bravery and efficiency as an officer of the law. Before the immense crowd left the church for the cemetery, member of the Masonic fraternity passed by the remains. At the grave the services were brief. His body was in charge of the Masonic order. Here friends and members of the family were again permitted to view the body. Before being lowered into the grave, a short distance from that of Officer Rogers, over 100 members of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan from Cleveland, Grant, and Jefferson counties gathered at the grave and entered into a brief service. Two large crosses made of beautiful flowers were placed on the grave by Klansmen. Officer Baldwin, who was 35 years of age, was a member of an old family of this section and over a long period of years has served in various capacities as an officer, and at the time of his death was Sheriff Dave Cash's chief deputy. Besides his wife who was 0b.efore her marriage Miss Maude Cochran, he leaves one daughter, Monnie May; two sons, C.W. and Ulyss Jr.; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Baldwin of this city; one brother, J.D. Baldwin of Hot Springs; six sisters, Misses Grace, Mayme and Edith Baldwin of Rison; Mrs. H.W. Thomas of Tarry; Mrs. Chas. Quinn of Pine Bluff; and Mrs. H.F. Mayfield of Huttig.
