THE BALDWIN REUNION
The descendants of Ezra BALDWIN met in their twenty-first annual reunion July 31, 1925 in a small grove in the F.E. Baldwin farm near the N.H. Baldwin home.
The family now numbers 171 but only 60 were present this year and seven visitors. There was an increase in members the past year, two by birth and two by marriage. There were no deaths during the year. N.H. Baldwin is the oldest member and Irwin King the newest member.
The men folks amused themselves by freezing ice cream while the ladies got dinner, which was served cafeteria style. All did their full share in helping get the dinner out of the way --- Billy BALDWIN getting his full share of chicken gizzards.
After dinner the ladies entertained the crowd by pitching several games of horseshoes. Then there was a game of volley ball.
At the business meeting the old officers were re-elected, Pres. E.E. Baldwin; V.P. Hattie Saunders; Sec., Georgia BALDWIN. Then followed a short impromptu program opened by singing America, and a prayer by Rev. Lackey. Reading, Effie White, song round, Elfie Hallock, Emma BALDWIN, Bertha Rehling; reading, Flo BALDWIN, Talk on auto trip and Colorado and Wyoming, Hattie Saunders; Talk by G.E. Baldwin.
