N. Baldwin of Lander, died in Denver at St. Joseph’s ‘hospital Friday after suffering illness for more than a month. He was 64 years old. ‘When he was a child of three his parents brought him to their new home in the rongh wilderness of the old South Pass mining district. There at Atlantic City where 10,000 miners feverishly toiled for gold, his father set up a small store. Some years later after.the boom had subsided and left the mountain high city an almost deserted town, the Baldwins moved to a settlement on the fertile plain of the Popo-Agie river that now is known as Lander. His fixtures and stock of goods the elder Baldwin moved with him, re- establishing ‘his business in Lander. His mam trading was done with the Indians and soldiers. For years M. Baldwin assisted his father in the store. Then their son purchased outright his father’s business. That was 30 years ago. During the years intervening be- tween that time and his death Fri- day he had built up the establish- ment into a prosperous mercantile house. He became an owner of ex- tensive properties and his wealth mounted up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. So long and so intimately attached to Lander and the surrounding country, Mr. Baldwin was one man upon whom the duty of boosting his home town came as a distinct pleasure. That Lander might be Lander of today he gave his best. Every new home, every acre brought under irrigation and _ cultivation, meant a victory for fim. As he regarded his town, so was he re- garded by the citizens of that town. His death was a loss that that com- munity could but ill ,afford. Never a man to seek public of- fice, Mr. Baldwin. was despite his attempts to dissuade his friends, sent by Fremont county to the state senate six years. In private life, Desidea successfully operating his large store, he served as vice presi- dent of the Central Trust company and as a director on the board of the First .National bank. His friends were numerous in all parts of Wyoming. Especially throughout centrai Wyoming was he well known.
