Ionia Daily Standard
FREEMAN, MRS. MARY B. (BALDIE):

   THE IONIA DAILY STANDARD, MICHIGAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1900, page 4, col.
3:  "A GOOD WOMAN GONE.  Mrs. Mary B. Freeman Passed From Earth on Sunday
Afternoon.  Mrs. Mary B. Freeman, for more than half a century an esteemed
resident of Ionia county, and for 29 years a valued member of society in the
community, and occupant of the home where she died on West Main street, passed
from earth, aged 72 years.
   Deceased was a daughter of David Baldie, who settled in Ionia in 1844, coming
hence from New York state.  She was born in Herkimer, on August 26, 1828, and
was the oldest of a family of six children, and is also the first of the six to
die.  She was the widow of Franklin S. Freeman, who died about nine years ago. 
To this union two children were born, Emma, who died some seventeen years ago,
and David B., the well-known dry goods merchant of Saginaw, who has spent very
much of the past month at the mother's bedside.
   At once upon marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman moved onto a farm in Ronald
township, where they performed pioneer work for twenty years, coming thence to
Ionia, where she has resided continuously since, a valued member of the
community and a constant and consistent member of the First Baptist society.
   The members of the immediate family surviving are the five brothers and
sisters, vis:  Mrs. L. Goodall, Miss Maggie Baldie and John W. Baldie, all of
Ionia, and Henry and Frederick Baldie, now living on the Pacific coast.
   The funeral will be attended from the late home, at 2 o'clock p.m. on
Tuesday, the service being conducted by Rev. D. L. Martin of the First Baptist
church.  Interment in Oak Hill."
