Charles Baldwin, a life-long
resident of Freeport and a char-ter
member of the local Ore de-partment
died in the New York
State Firemen's Home at Hudson,
N.Y., Monday. The Rev. Regi-nald
H. Scott, chaplain of the
'frre "de^aTtmentr conducted "f unera I
services in the Chester A. Fulton
Chapel last night and burial to-day
was in Greenfield Cemetery,
Hempstcnd.
Mr. Baldwin was born in Free-port
on October 24; 1856, son of
the lain Thomas and Angeline
Brown Baldwin, old-time Long
Island residents. He received his
education in the Freeport school
and was gardener for many years
for the village. His employment
by the village was continued un-til
recently. '
He was one of the original
members of the Engine company*,}
Ire^ Q%^pJ^*^yi;^\^^r vpapi^
of the unit.'" Several years
he was made an honorary
deputy chief. His wife. Minnie
Baldwin, died in March last, year.
Mr. Baldwin's home was at 42
Morton avenue. He entered the
home at Hudson only two weeks
ago.
He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Elllc
Hnmbley nnd Mrs. Fennle Dc-mott
and a brother, Frank
Rhodes.
* However, the fact that ^n that;
time the community has come
within $100,000 of its goal, he.
continued, should not cause a let-!
up in purchasing during the time
remaining before the campaign
closes at midnight on Friday,
April 30.
The unofficial quota of $540.000
was set. with a view to selling
crjough bonds to permit a motor
torpedo boat to be named in
honor of the village. However, If [
the village,, should repeat its prr-j
formancc of the First War bond t
drive when it doubled (he goal it
set for itself, and readied the i
million mark, a submnrine chaser,
costing that much, could be nam-ed
for Freeport.
Cord Viebrock has gunc into
bond selling in earnest. During
the week he succeeded in dis-posing
of $8,500 worth oi new
bonds to prominent residents of
the village. Many of them drop-ped
in for lunch and went out
carrying bonds*
