On Tuesday last, the remains of Mrs. C.C. BALDWIN of New York, were brought to her native town for interment among the graves of her kindred and by the side of her father, the late Hon. J. Dixon Roman. She was a granddaughter of Mr. John Kennedy, once well known and still remembered in this community. Mrs. Baldwin was no common character, as the deep sympathy so universally shown by the people of this town of all classes most eloquently portrayed.
She was the only surviving daughter of parents who offered her all the advantages of a careful and finished education, besides the rich culture of foreign travel. Hers was a mind to receive and appreciate the lore of other countries, older than ours, while at the same time loving "her own native land." Nothing could exceed the charm of her conversational power, except perhaps the exquisite purity of her heart and mind.
To these qualities were added an ear every open to the "still sad music of humanity," and how she has responded to every call and opportunity of doing good, will only appear at the great day.
Beloved of many hearts! We committed her to the :house appointed for all living," believing that on the bright morning of the resurrection she will "awake in his likeness: who saved her, and has taken her home.
"I give thee joy my darling,
I see beyond the river
Thy young life bathed in light,
And on me falls the radiance
Of thy garments shining bright!
I give thee Joy my darling,
For Jesus is thy King,
And to his blessed presence
He will his people bring -
And there me may togehter
Our glad Hosannahs sing!
