FRANK P. BALDWIN

   The eldest in a family of five children, Frank Baldwin was associated with
his father, Perry Baldwin, until his death. Perry Baldwin was a farmer of the
frontier who came with his wife, who was in maidenhood Miss Lavancha Woodard, to
Hamilton County, Iowa, where their eldest son was born. Other children of the
family were Blanch, Mrs. Clarence Worthy of Berkeley; Etta, Mrs. Hugh Doyle of
the Dos Palos Colony; Carl and William, both deceased. Frank Baldwin was
educated in the common schools of Iowa and went with the family in 1895 to
California, and located in the Dos Palos Colony. The father bought forty acres
there and later added forty more. Frank worked with his father and helped
develop the land. His father died March 28, 1921, aged seventy-six. His mother
lived to the age of eighty and died April 20, 1919.

   In August, 1921, Mr. Baldwin was married to Miss Rosalie Baldwin, who was
born in Iowa, the daughter of Andrew Baldwin, and they reside on the old Baldwin
homestead.

   Hugh Doyle, a brother-in-law of Frank Baldwin, is a native of Coles County,
Ill., born at Lerna, on June 16, 1876, a son of James and Elizabeth (Lynn)
Doyle, natives of Ireland, who had five children as follows: Charles, deceased;
Edna, of Corning, Cal.; Hugh; James and Elizabeth, both of Dinuba, Cal. Hugh
attended the grammar schools of Illinois and started out for himself doing odd
jobs at the early age of twelve. Drifting from place to place over the west he
rode the range in Wyoming and Montana, and came from Denver, Colo., to Dos
Palos, Cal. He worked two years for Miller & Lux.

   Hugh Doyle married Etta Baldwin on January 3, 1904. Since then he has
successfully engaged in farming in the north end of the Dos Palos Colony.
