obit for Ezra Baldwin, born Vermont, died Kansas
Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, July 14, 1892, page 4:
Died
BALDWIN -- At the residence of his son, H.G. Baldwin, in Fountain township, on Wednesday, July 6th, Ezra Baldwin, aged 87 years, 3 months, and 9 days.
He was born and resided in Vermont until 1866, when he removed to Iowa, where he resided until 1873, when he sold his farm and came to Kansas, several of his children having precede him. His devoted wife had died in Iowa previous to his removal to Kansas.
For several years past he has made his home with his son H.G. Baldwin. He was the father of 11 children, six of whom survive him -- a daughter in Iowa, a son in California, and four sons in this county.
Mr. Baldwin was in his prime a man of great industry and force of character, and has since his youth been a consistent christian. Though increasing years had left their weight of inflictions upon him he was always cheerful and hopeful. He was a loyal and generous friend, and those who knew him will regret his departure and extend their sympathy to the mourning relatives
