General Notes: Husband - J. V. Baldwin

---

He was brought up on the farm, receiving his education in the home schools and at the Waterford Academy. March 6, 1865, he enlisted in the 102d Penn. Reg. He had offered himself previously, and was twice refused. He served in the Army of the Potomac, receiving his discharge June 28, 1865. After his marriage, for two years he was a contractor in Union City, Erie County. He then formed a partnership with George Cowden, for the manufacture of shingles. In 1871, he established the manufactory of what is known as the “D” handles, for shovels, forks, scoops, etc., in partnership with Joseph Deamer, whose interest he bought out in 1879. He then carried on the business alone, and had a large trade, extending from the New England states to St. Louis. He sent the first order that went west of the Mississippi River. Mr. Baldwin was a Democrat in politics.
