Baldwin, Lucinda

SUDDEN DEATH MRS. BALDWIN. With scarcely a pang of pain, from pleasant social 
associations, Mrs. Lucinda Baldwin, of Berlin, while on a visit to Garrett, on 
Monday evening, was called to her eternal home. Mrs. Baldwin, on Friday last, 
went to visit her sister, Mrs. Simon Fritz, intending to remain about a week. 
She appeared in good health, in fact, Mrs. Baldwin for the past year had been in 
better health than she had been for some years preceding. She with her sister 
had dined at the Lutheran parsonage, Rev. W. H. B. Carney, pastor, and during 
their stay there, Mrs. Baldwin seemed in especially good spirits. However, as 
they were leaving the parsonage, Mrs. Baldwin complained of a severe pain in the 
head and suggested that they sit down on the porch for a moment. This was done 
and a physician summoned but he had hardly arrived before she had passed beyond 
human aid, dying in ten minutes after the sudden attack, believed to be due to 
apoplexy. Mrs. Baldwin was the widow of Joseph J. Baldwin, who died about ten 
years ago. Her maiden name was Dickey, her father's name being David Dickey. She 
was aged 77 years. Surviving her are the following two brothers and one sister: 
Rev. E. F. Dickey of Pittsburg, Morgan Dickey of near Berlin, Mrs. Simon Fritz 
of Garrett; three sons and two daughters: Chas. W. and W. H. Baldwin, of 
Meyersdale, and Edward D. of Berlin, with whom she had made her home; Mrs. Belle 
Walker of Johnstown, and Mrs. Lucy Blough of Falls City, Nebraska. The deceased 
was a devoted member of the Lutheran Church and her pastor, Rev. Burkholder 
officiated at the funeral services held this afternoon at four o'clock.
