Died in Dearfield, Ill. Sunday morning November 24, 1901, Louisa Booth Baldwin, wife of Almon Vedder, aged 66 years, one month and 24 days. To the many friends who had the pleasure of knowing the deceased, more than a passing notice would seem most fitting. Mrs. Vedder was born in Guilford Centre N.Y. [Chenango Co.], September 28, 1835. Her father, William Baldwin, was of Connecticut stock, as was her mother, Louisa Booth. From her parents she inherited the sterling qualities that fitted her for a practical, useful life. She lived in her childhood home until womanhood, then went to Chicago to reside with her aunt, Mrs. James H. Woodworth. Here, to a home of culture and refinement, she spent many happy years. On February 25, 1879, she married Almon Vedder of Deerfield, and lived from that time in the home where she died. In this home, in the church of which she was a member, and in the neighborhood where she lived, her beautiful useful life was a high example of Christian character. Since her residence in Chicago, she made frequent visits to her old home, and twice she visited in Norwich. She was always a welcome guest to her old friends. In March 1900, she was attacked with la grippe, and from that time had been in declining health. All the long weary months, that brought her great physical suffering, she bore with heroic Christian fortitude, showing that religion to her was not a mere name. She has passed away, but the memory of her beautiful life will ever be cherished by those who knew and loved her. Her funeral was held from her late home on Tuesday, November 26th and was conducted by the pastor of the Highland Park Baptist church, of which she was a member. She is survived by her husband and one brother, George H. Baldwin of this village. [Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Nov. 30, 1901]
