Moe H. Baldwin
Moe H. Baldwin, the only son of Stephen G. and Elizabeth C. (Horne) Baldwin, was born in the city of Marion, on the 19th of January, 1879, and is a scion of the third generation of the family in Grant County. He fully profited by the advantages afforded in the public schools of his native city and after his high school course he entered Hanover College, at Hanover, Jefferson County, after which he was matriculated in Purdue University, at Lafayette, afterward attending the celebrated University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor.
After leaving the last mentioned institution Mr. Baldwin turned his attention to the illustrating and designing business.
A few years ago he collaborated with M. B. Edmiston in the compilation and publication of a book of caricature of Marion business men, which was entitled "Some Greater Marion Faces," and which met with high commendation and which showed many admirable specimens of his skill as an artist. Upon the death of his honored father he succeeded in the insurance and loan business established by the latter, one of the largest and most important of the kind in the state but one that is conceded to take precedence of all others in Grant County.
Mr. Baldwin is well known in his native county, where his circle of friends in coincident with that of his acquaintances, and he and his wife are prominent figures in the representative social activities of their home city. He pays allegiance to the Republican party, is president of the Mecca Club, holds membership in the Marion Country Club, and is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks.
On the 3d of September, 1901, Mr. Baldwin wedded Miss Lela Lutz, daughter of the late John Lutz.
