THE PARIS NEWS, 29 Oct 1938: 'Funeral services for N. M. Baldwin, aged Lamar county resident, who died early Saturday morning at Lamar Hospital following a long illness, will be held Sunday morning at 8:30 o'clock at the Manton-Fry funeral home chapel with the Rev. Homer T. Fort, Methodist pastor, officiating. Interment will be made at Evergreen cemetery. He is survived by one son, Harry Samford Baldwin, of Little Rock, Ark., who arrived in Paris Saturday night. Baldwin was one of the pioneer newspaper subscription solicitors of the state. In recent years the solicited subscriptions for The Paris News and several other publications. Thirty-five years ago he represented The Dallas News in Denison. He was a well known figure on the streets of Paris, as he daily met and talked with people from all parts of the county over a long period of years. A native of Harrison county, Texas, he was an active member of the First Methodist Church. He was a regular attendant at the Bible school taught at the church each Sunday by Ed H. McCuistion, whom he regarded as the best Bible scholar of his acquaintance. He suffered a stroke some months ago and while he recovered sufficiently to set about to some extent, he was never able to resume his work. On a biographical blank filled out in his own handwriting August 10, 1935 he wrote: 'I was born a Democrat and am still one. My hobby used to be deer and coon hunting and fishing in Caddo lake, but since those old days are past I have no hobby but Sunday school and church.' His parents came to Texas from Alabama in 1849.'
