Obituary Prepared by Mr. Baldwin Read-- Will be Missed
The funerals services for Rev. N.D. Baldwin occurred at Westfield, Monday at 2 o'clock at the Friends church, and the interment was at Summit Lawn.
Rev. David Hadley, of Moorseville, and old friend, preached the funeral discourse, and it was a splendid tribute to the character of Mr. Baldwin, and also contained many valuable lessons to all present. It was based on the statement of Jesus concerning Lazarus, "I will waken him up" The spiritual application was appropriate.
The obituary read had been prepared by Mr. Baldwin himself three or four years ago, before the death of his son Linnacus. It was a simple and concise story.
Rev. Earl Pittinger, pastor of the Methodist church, assisted Re. Mr. Hadley in the services. The pallbearers were: M E Cox, Irvin Stanley, William C Clark, M O Morris, Calvin Keister and Milton Hanson. The music by a choir was appropriate, and Miss Laura Stanley was at the organ.
Rev. Nathan Baldwin will be much missed at Westfield, and will be long remembered for his many good qualities, and as the father of a family of strong and capable sons and daughters.
Westfield was shocked Friday by the death of one of her best citizens, Rev. Nathan D Baldwin, who fell dead at his home in the south part of town Friday, the cause being heart trouble. Mr Baldwin had been ill for some time, but his death came suddenly. He was seventy four years of age.
