Funeral of Henry C. Baldwin of Nau-
 gatuck
 The funeral of Attorney Henry C.. Baldwin of Naugatuck will take place this (Monday) afternoon. The services will be in charge of Isbell post. q. A. R., of which he was prominent mem ber, A delegation from the New Ha- ven county bar will, in accordance with appropriate action taken by that body, attend. A number of the old New Ha- ven comrades of the deceased in the late war will also be present.
 A Naugatuck paper of Friday speak ing of the last illness of the deceased and attendant circumstances, says: The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, although he had been i'll for several weeks. He commenced to improve about two weeks ago, and decided to go to Florida as soon as he recovered. He had some important le- gal business to transact in Sandusky, O., and wanted to finish this before go- ing to Florida Tuesday December 12, he felt well enough, he thought, to undertake the journey to Ohio, and left Naugatuck for Sandusky. After trans acting his business he went to Toledo to visit son Of Dr. Mum of Water bury, and spent Sunday in Toledo. He returned to Naugatuck Wednesday night, when it was at once seen that his western trip had not benefited him at all and that he was a very sick man. He grew gradually worse, and Thursday at noon his life was despair ed of, but he rallied, and this morn ing it was thought that there was some chance of his recovery. Shortly before noon a change took place, and though all that medical skill could suggest was done to save his life, he died at about 12 o'clock. He leaves a wife and three children, two daughters, May and June, and a son, Seth.'
 To his personal character the follow ing tribute is paid:
 MT Baldwin was brilliant and entertaining conversationalist and had a remarkable memory. As a man and lawyer he was universally respect ed, and could always be found on the side of right and justice. He was at all time courteous and obliging, and he never refused to assist a person in distress. He worked hard for his clients and always commanded their confidence.
 'As citizen Naugatuck never had a better one than H. c. Baldwin, and his death is a sad blow to the eommun- ity Though he is dead his memory will remain forever green in the hearts of all who knew him, and the people of Naugatuck will rise as a unit in paying tribute to his memory and ex- tending sympathy to his bereaved wife and children"
