ERDMANN D. BALDWIN, Civil Engineer. Before Erdmann D. Baldwin left Hawaii to 
complete his education on the mainland he had decided upon his lifes’ work and 
had obtained seven years of experience in his profession with the government 
survey, an association that led to the establishment of the firm of Baldwin 
and Alexander, surveyors in Hawaii since 1907.
  Born Dec. 9, 1859, at Lahaina, Maui, he is the son of David Dwight and Lois 
Gregory (Morris) Baldwin, and a descendant of Joseph Baldwin of Cholesburg, 
county of Bucks, England, one of the earliest settlers around Milford, Conn. 
(1639) He is a grandson of Rev. Dwight Baldwin, one of the earliest American 
missionaries to Hawaii.
  Mr. Baldwin was educated at Punahou School, Honolulu; Williston Seminary, 
Easthampton, Mass., and Yale, Class of 1889, Sheffield. He had been with the 
Hawaiian Government survey from 1879 to 1886. He returned to the islands after 
graduation from Yale and was associated with the government survey in charge 
of primary triangulation, island of Hawaii, 1892-1907, also making surveys of 
Puna and Hilo during that period.
  In 1907 he retired from the government survey to form the firm of Baldwin 
and Alexander, civil engineers and surveyors. He always has been a close 
student of volcanic action and Hawaiian land shells and continues 
investigations into these subjects at his present residence in Wailuku, Maui. 
He married Nellie Virginia Curtis in Hilo, Hawaii, Nov. 28, 1892, and they 
have two children, Dwight Vanatta and Jessie Curtis Baldwin.
