THE Springfield Republican describes
the new church built for the Rev. Geo.
G. Baldwin, Jr., in that city. and then
says "The Rev. Geo. c. Baldwin, Jr.,
the present pastor of the church. is COM
paratively young man, being born at
Troy, n. Y, May o, lS47. His father
was the Rev. DR.. Geo. c. Baldwin, Sr.,
who for nearly thirty-fve years was
pastor of the First Church in Troy.
After taking the usual course of prepar-
atory study, Mr.. Baldwin entered Roch-
ester seminary, graduating in the class
of so. He was married shortly after
ward, and began the manufacture of
stoves in Troy, becoming a member of
the firm of Eddy, Corse Il Co. For ten
years he continued in this business. but
Ultimately found the growing call to the
ministry too strong to be resisted. He
accordingly entered Rochester univer-
sity theological seminary, and took his
degree in 1881, after the usual two years
course of study. His first charge was
the FRS Baptist Church of Bennington,
Vt, where he remained four years.
On March 10, 1885, the First Baptist
Church Of this city voted to extend him
a call to be their pastor, succeeding the
Rev. L. l.. Potter, resigned. The call
was accepted, and on June II of the
same year he was duly installed over
the church, and has since been their
faithful, efficient and progressive relig
ious teacher and guide"
