A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED
The Toledo Chronicle of Nov. 14 contains the account of the death of Mrs. Ella Electa Donat Baldwin, of which mention was made in the Reporter.
She was born in Harlan township on the Donat farm now occupied by her brother, W. E. Donat.
When she was fourteen years of age she was converted and became a member of the United Brethren church at the Stone school house where a meeting was being held under the ministry of Rev. Robert Laughlin. Later the Center Grove U. B. church was organized and she became a member of that church.
On the 22nd day of June, 1892, she was married to Mr. Herbert Baldwin and to them were born two daughters, Lucile and Maude, who together with Mr. Baldwin, her mother, Mrs. Lydia Donat, two brothers, W. E. of Fayette, Iowa, and W. S. of Duluth, Minnesota, and a sister, Miss Etta, at home with many other relatives and a large number of the kinship of faith and love, are bereaved with her departure.
Ever since she became a Christian she was an active member of the church, always engaging in the various activities of the church as health and opportunity permitted. She loved her Bible as is indicated by frequent markings and marginal comment upon those passages which meant most to her. She had a habit of noting texts, the time and place of peaching and the minister who preached the sermon. She was also most dearly devoted to her home and family and the tender love and consideration manifested in the home and the church was exceeded only in her love for her Savior. In her long life of affliction which, it may be said, lasted nearly through out her entire life, she trusted Him implicitly and "endured as seeing Him who is invisible."
Mrs. Baldwin's serious illness has extended over a period of the last three years and during much of this time she was a great sufferer. She was patient in it all and had no words of complain because the hand of affliction was laid so heavily upon her.
She was ready for her departure. She regretted only that she must leave her family and expressed great concern for her two daughters.
