GENERAL DEATHS MARRIAGES COURT XXXXXX
Source: Daily Ohio Statesman
Date: Nov. 7, 1837
DIED, on Saturday, 21st inst., at his residence in Upper Toledo, Hon. John Baldwin, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lucas county, after a short illness, with inflammation on the lungs.
     Mr. Baldwin was among the earliest settlers of this country, and his death is greatly to be lamented by his friends and neighbors.  Perhaps o family on the Maumee River during a residence of twenty years, a great portion of which time the country was a wilderness, has suffered more, or afforded more succour and aid to the new settlers, than John Baldwin, Sr. and his family, of whom the deceased was a son.  We trust our acquaintance with this man will long be remembered.  On the 26th September, 1831, we first visited the ground where Toledo now stands, and partook of the first meal at the hospital dwelling of the deceased, the only dwelling from Swan creek, now the upper end of Toledo, down to Maj. Stickney's residence, the lower part, except two log huts.  During our stay, which was to the 1st of October, we were treated by Judge B. and his family with great kindness and good feeling, who afforded us every facility in our research and examination of the country, and declined to receive any compensation directly or indirectly - Toledo Gazette.

"OBITUARY - Samuel Hicks, one of our most respectable merchants, died this morning at his residence, No. 245, Broadway - Mr. H. was one of the firm of Samuel Hick & Son one of the oldest and most eminent houses in this city.  He was a member of the Society of Friends - a man of integrity and benevolence - an honor to his calling, and to the city.  The loss of such men is ever to be deplored.  But it is the common lot." - N. Y. Com. Adv.
     The death of this worthy man is much to be lamented, and especially to be regretted by the citizens of Toledo.  Mr. Hicks and sons became largely interested in this city in the summer of 1835, and have contributed greatly to the building up the place - They have done much by their presence and capital to the constructing of the Erie and Kalamazoo Rail Road, and although we have lost the aid and support of the most able capitalists of the place, we hope and trust his sons will make good his place. - Toledo Gazette.
