C. H. Baldwin

    C. H. Baldwin, secretary, treasurer and local manager of the Chattanooga Stove Company, was born at Town Line, N. Y., November 10, 1855, but removed at an early age to Cleveland, Ohio, where he was educated in the excellent public schools of that city. Having a liking for mechanics he early engaged in the stove manufacturing business at Cleveland, but from 1878 to 1884 he took charge of branch foundries of the Cleveland Co-operative Stove Company located at Black River, Ohio, Indianapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis. In January 1881, the Chattanooga Stove Company began operations, and Mr. Baldwin was appointed manager, a position he has since retained with entire satisfaction to the stockholders, besides being a stockholder in the Cleveland Co-operative Stove Company, of Cleveland, Ohio. The father of our subject, W. W. Baldwin, is a native of Vermont, and is now a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, being the general manager, secretary and treasurer of the Cleveland Co-operative Stove Company of that place, and general manager of the Chattanooga Stove Company of Chattanooga. The mother of C. H. Baldwin, whose maiden name was A. A. Johnson, of New York, died in November, 1886, leaving three sons and two daughters living from a family of seven children.
