Wailuku, Maui, May 10 — William Atwater Baldwin, 88, one of the pioneers of 
Maui’s pineapple industry, died last Wednesday at Alameda County Hospital in 
California. Word of his death was received here by his sister, Mrs. D.B.

1936. Survivors include his wife, Nina (Prime) Baldwin, a son, William P. of 
Sacramento, and a daughter, Mrs. Frances Roeding of Niles.

  Mr. Baldwin was born July 20, 1869, in Kohala, Hawaii, the son of David 
Dwight and Lois Gregory (Morris) Baldwin. He was educated at Oahu College (now

Plantation Company on Oahu and Hawaiian Sugar Company. In 1904 he came to Maui
