Born in Bloomfield, New Jersey in 1820, Creative Commons Baldwin received his high school education at the Bloomfield Academy at the foot of "the Green" where he was also an assistant teacher. Under the American Board of Missions, the couple arrived in the spring of 1848 at Foochow. The couple labored together in the missionary field for 47 years (1848-1895) with short furloughs to the United States in 1859, 1871, 1885.
The Baldwins learned the native language and were responsible for extensive work in literacy, education and evangelistic departments.
Founding schools and superintending them in cities and villages, the Baldwins traveled by boats, sedans and the most primitive locomotion. Baldwin"s last and most important literary work was a careful version of the dictionary and the Foochow Bible.
In 1895, the Baldwins returned to America where Mistress Baldwin died in July 1896.
Baldwin died of heart failure in 1911.
