BALDWIN, THOMAS J
(16 Jul 1908, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Wednesday morning at 3:30, T. Baldwin, of Elk City, was carried over the
"great divide."  He had been ailing for quite a while, but none thought
him dangerous.  He took to his bed Saturday last and passed away without a
struggle.  Mr. Baldwin was a highly respected citizen of this community.
He moved from his farm to Elk City about two years ago.
He was born August 3, 1850, in Roanoke county, Virginia; married Mary J.
Roak, in Ray county, Missouri, October 22, 1871.  Two children were born
to them, Walter M. and Fannie M.
He married Emma Logan September 6, 1885.  Three children were born to this
union, Melvin R., Paul E., and Nellie G., all of which survive him.
He united with the Christian church at South Point, Missouri, 1875.
He was burried (sic) Wednesday at 3:00 p.m., under the auspices of the
Modern Woodman of the World in the Elk City cemetery.
(23 Jul 1908, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
