MAJOR E.S. BALDWIN ENTERS GREAT BEYOND
Former Citizen Dies at Bremen
Our people where shocked on last Saturday morning when the sad intelligence 
flashed over the wire that Major Baldwin was dead, for although it was known 
that he was in failing health, little did we realize his end was so near.  
Major Baldwin was for many years one of Ellaville's staunchest citizens.  He 
helped build up the town and watched her institutions grow with pride and 
interest.  He was active in everything that pertained to the upbuilding of his 
fellow citizens, and ready with his influence and purse to help all that was 
good.  Broad indeed and liberal in his views, he made friends among all 
classes and was held in high esteem by his fellow man.  Ellaville never had a 
citizen that took more interest in her welfare than did Major Baldwin and his 
moving to another city a few years ago, was a source of deep regret to all.  
Upright in his dealings, honest in his purpose, and true to every good 
impulse, he lived as he died, respected by his comrades and full fellowship 
with the world.  Major Baldwin reared a large family of children, all of whom 
have families, except one son.  At the time of his death he was living with 
his daughter, Mrs. G.W. Chipley at Bremen, Ga.  He had passed the three score 
years and ten mile-post, and was ready to leave life's trials, and be with his 
loved ones on the other shore.  His remains were interred in Marshalville 
beside those of his wife, where they await the resurrection morn.  To the 
bereaved ones we tender our sincerest sympathy and point them to the Lord God 
who alone can comfort them in their hour of sorrow.
