_____
From "A Brief History of Chemung County""Captain Baldwin was a member of the Baldwin family that came early into the valley. He was slender and delicate of figure, with the gentlest of dispositions, but with a spirit and force of character that was characteristic of his family, and he made a good soldier. He was a son of a soldier of the War of 1812, and grandson of a soldier of the Revolution. His father was deputy sheriff of the county, and was the first occupant of the new County Court House in 1824. Captain Baldwin was a printer and a newspaper man. He was promoted to be Major soon after the One Hundred and Seventh reached the field."
He enlisted in June of 1862 when the 107th (known as the Campbell Guards) was formed, and fought in numerous battles, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. Severely wounded at the Battle of Peachtree Creek buy a musket ball that entered his left eye and exited the side of is head, he died the following day. His brother Elisha Griswold Baldwin was fighting alongside him when he was hit. Lathrop was promoted to Lt. Colonel posthumously.
The Elmira post of the G.A.R. is named in his honor.

The funeral of Elisha G. Baldwin will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the late residence, No. 207 Spaulding street. His demise was primarily due to paralysis, the hand of death touching the body at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Elisha Baldwin was born in Rush Run hotel at Ridgebury, Bradford county, Pa., September 8, 1833. He was a son of Lathrupt Baldwin, born in Newtown [Elmira] January 14, 1794, and Sally Griswold Baldwin, born in Chemung, February 17, 1796. The grandfather of Elisha was Isaac Baldwin, Jr. of Norwich, Conn., who was born there in 1776, and came to Chemung valley in its early settlement. The father of Elisha and his family moved to Elmira, or rather returned, for they had once resided here, in 18434, and lived in the old courthouse on Lake street. Later the building became the city hall, and was moved to Market street. It is now occupied by the Alpha club, and owned by the B.P.O.E. At the age of twelve years Elisha left his father's bed and board, and went to work for William Jenkins, down the river road. That was in 1845. During the winter of 1850 he attended the Elmira academy. His brother, Lathrop, and Charles Fairman conducted the Elmira Republican. He went in to his brother's print shop in March, 1850, and remained there five years. Subsequently he was foreman of the Republican. On October 23, 1855, he married Elizabeth Curtis, at Charles Fairman's residence on High street. In 1856 he left the Republican and became foreman on the Advertiser, remaining there until 1862. O his army and subsequent service he recently wrote the following, which was found in his diary:
In August, 1862, in company with James McMillan and Robert F. Stewart, we opened a recruiting office on Lake street, and in one week went into barracks with a full company of 100 men and three officers. and we were Company C, 141st New York Volunteers. My brother, Lathrop, was mortally wounded at Peach Tree Creek, July 20, 1864. All the officers except myself and one second lieutenant of my regiment having been killed or wounded in this battle I could remain with my dying brother but a short time, and I never saw him any more. Lathrop was buried in Woodlawn cemetery, and his memory is perpetuated in the naming of the Baldwin post in his honor. During the last days of the war I was on duty in Elmira under General B.F. Tracy. After the war I went into the oil country, where I stayed until 1867, when I returned to Elmira. Then I went again into the Advertiser office, after a short try at the insurance business, and the paper was then published by Seymour Fairman. Luther Caldwell and Colonel James S. Thurston. I was placed in charge of the press, and continued there until 1869, when I received an appointment as assistant assessor of internal revenue. I.S. Copeland, who was by helper as pressman, succeeded me in that position. I remained in the revenue office until 1877, when I was succeeded by Captain E.T. Walker, when I opened an insurance office with Joseph A. Barney, afterwards Baldwin & Dumars, then Baldwin & G. Fred Potter, coming up to the present successor, C.C. Keeton.
In 1882 Mr. Baldwin went to Dakota, where he lived until about two years ago, returning to Elmira to pass the remainder. Those of his immediate family who survive are his widow, who is a sister of Mrs. H.W. Magowan; a widowed daughter, Mrs. Warren Hastings Wasson, who was Allie, living with her parents; Mrs. Harry E. Goodrich, who was Josie, of Fargo, N.D.; Mrs. Elmira Knapp, of Elmira, mother of Mrs. Frane Wormley and of Mrs. Clara Smith, as his sole surviving sister. Rev. R. Lew Williams will officiate at the services at the house. Baldwin post No.6, GAR, will carry out its ritual. -
