Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, April 12, 1894, page 4:
Henry G. Baldwin was born in Vermont, 1836, and died at his home in Ottawa County, Kansas, April 7th, 1894. Dec. 17, 1861, he enlisted in Co. I, 8th Vt. Infantry, discharged June 23rd, 1864. He was married to Nellie Fisher December 21st, 1861. During his term of service he participated in twenty-two battles, and was severely wounded at Port Hudson, where he lay three days on the field without water and when found fever had set in and from that his wound came very near death, but a strong constitution carried him through. The deceased was converted and received the ordinance of christian baptism and joined the M.E. church under the ministrations of Rev. James Phillips in Feb., 1876, since which time he has led a consistent, earnest christian life. He was a kind and indulgent father, a tender and loving husband, and how much he will be missed in the family circle only the stricken ones will ever know. He had been a helpless sufferer for a number of years from rheumatism resultant from wounds and exposure in the army, but bore it all patiently, never for a moment questioning God's will concerning himself. A man of deep and abiding patriotism, he ever tried to instill into the minds of his children the virtues of love and veneration for the old flag. He bid all his old comrades an affectionate good-bye, saying that he loved them all. His remains were taken in charge by the Griffin post, of which he was an honored member, and buried after the beautiful burial service of the G.A.R., the funeral sermon being preached by the chaplin of the Post, Rev. H.R. Gouldin. About four years ago he selected as the text for his funeral service the 7th verse of the 116th Psalm: "He hath returned unto his rest." Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of the saints
