DEATH RECORD OF THE WEEK
Mrs. Stephen l. Baldwin, of Brooklyn
N. r.. Sister of Mrs. John II. Hof-
fecker, of Smyrna, Dies Suddenly


1918 Pacific Avenue, Brooklyn, N.
Y, and sister of Mrs. John Henry
Hoffecker of this town, died suddenly
Saturday evening at her home shortly
after nine O'Clock from an attack of
cerebral hemorrhage. She was strick-
en- in the morning and despite the
efforts Of her physicians to resuscitate
her, she neve rrallied and died without !
regaining CONSEQUENCES. The de-
ceased, who was a frequent visitor |
to Smyrna and well-known to a large |
number of our people, was one of |
those godly women who gave her life |
to the great church and missionary
movement which she espoused. Sic
was a prominent member and presi-
dent of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society of New York State
and gave much of her time in lectur-
ing and promoting the cause of mis-
sions werever she went. Deceased
was a daughter of Matthias Jerman
and was born and raised in Smyrna.
Possessed with a splendid intellect
and a ready wit, which a good edu-
cation had highly trained and culti-
waited, she was destined to public
life which she followed in after
years with marked success. About
the time of the Civil War she was
united in marriage to Rev. Stephen
L. Baldwin, then a promising young
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
| Church, and went with him to far
away China to enter upon the great
missionary work. The trip then
meant a long and tedious journey and
to be a missionary in China at that
time was more of an undertaking
than it is now. While her husband
was in this work and was United
States CONSUL at Foochow she ever
proved to him a valuable helpmate
and the glorious work that was then
accomplished made her love the great
missionary movement all the more.
When she returned to the States, she
took the good word everywhere she
had an opportunity to speak, a gospel
that she continued to preach with
increasing interest up to the time of
her death. She was a good woman
full of good works. Her husband
died July 20, 1902. Mrs. Baldwin is
survived by six children: Stepher
, Charles Baldwin, ESQ.,, prominent
attorney of New York City; Mrs
Faun M. Freborn, Mrs. John Walter
