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. |
