1st wife of Almarin Baldwin
obit Sept 13, 1888, Otsego Co, NY
Mrs. Lovina Boardman Baldwin, who has been failing gradually for several months, died Tuesday evening last, aged 48 years and five months. She leaves a husband and six children, five daughters and one son. She has fought life's battles patiently; in early womanhood she put on armor for the Christian warfare, which she wore most gracefully and faithfully to the end. None ever met her but to respect her, none knew her but to love her. It has been the lot of the writer to meet her in the walks of the seemingly every week for more than thirty years, and in all those meetings her every action seemed to say, I am fighting the good fight; I shall keep the faith.
Mrs. Baldwin lived to see six of the eight sisters buried, one, the wife of Rev. Colegrove, remaining. In affliction she was submissive, in adversity she was patient and hopeful, in prosperity grateful as we are as glad. She was kind-hearted, affectionate, and friendly, and the best of her graces was charity to all. In her family her love will be most deeply felt, but society and church will greatly miss her. We learn later that Mrs. Geo. Baldwin also died Tuesday night. The Mrs. Baldwins were cousins."
