   BALDWIN A. REICH, owner and proprietor of a flourishing bakery
in Portsmouth, N. H., was born in Germany, December 6, 1863, a son
of Emil and Wilhelmina (Hoffman) Reich. When he was a child of
about four years old his parents came to this country, settling in Balti-
more, Md., where they spent the rest of their lives. The voyage was
made on the first steamship that ever crossed the Atlantic Ocean and
lasted eighteen days. The father, Emil Reich, was a basket maker in
his native land, but in Baltimore became a shipping clerk, which occu-
pation he subsequently followed. He and his family were members of
the Lutheran Church. Their children were: Albert, Baldwin A., Bertha,
Otto, August, Edward, Minnie, Elise, Marie and Alfred.
   Baldwin A. Reich attended the common schools of Baltimore until
reaching the age of sixteen years. He then learned the baker's trade
in that city, which he has since followed. In 1888 he came to Ports-
mouth to work as baker for Mrs. Frank Roebeck. He continued in
her employ until 1894, at which time he purchased the business from
her and has since been sole proprietor. He is doing an excellent busi-
ness, which gives employment to six hands and keeps one wagon busily
engaged in delivering goods. In addition to a large general trade he
caters for the beaches and Masonic lodges. In Masonry he has advanced
to the 32d degree and he belongs also to the Knights of Pythias and
the Royal Arcanum. In politics he is independent.
   Mr. Reich married Annie Wingate, a daughter of James W. anu
Carrie (Center) Wingate. She was the only child of her parents; her
father was a sail-maker, in the employ of the United States Navy. Mr.
and Mrs. Reich have two daughters, Evelyn and Eleanor. The family
attend the Baptist Church and are numbered among the prosperous and
substantial people of the city.
