Edward Baldwin

(From Clark Funeral Home)

Edward "Doc" Orr Baldwin was born on July 13, 1934 (1932), in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Hallie Baldwin and Elsie Mae (O'Brien) Baldwin.

On March 29, 1956, at the age of 21, Edward married Edna Mae (Mayers) Baldwin. In 1962, they moved to Neosho, Missouri, where they would make their home and build a life together. Edna Mae preceded him in death on January 25, 2006, after 48 years of marriage.

Edward was self-employed as a horse trader, a profession that became much more than just a job. It became a family tradition and a legacy. Over the years, Edward passed down his knowledge, experience, and passion for buying and selling horses with five generations of his family. What began as his trade became something he passed down to those he loved, creating a legacy that will continue for many more years and generations.

His life revolved around the things that meant the most to him: his family, his horses, and his faith. Edward was a man of Christian faith who loved the Lord. His faith was an important part of his life and remained close to his heart. When he wasn't working with horses, he enjoyed fishing and coon hunting. He found happiness in the things he loved, the traditions he carried on, and the time spent with those closest to him.

His family remembers him with the words, "The wind never stopped blowing a leaf, and the wind never stopped blowing for him."

He is survived by his sister, Annie Howard of Grove, Oklahoma; five daughters; one son; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren; along with many adopted children and grandchildren who were loved and considered family.

Edward was preceded in death by his wife, Edna Mae Baldwin; two sons; and two brothers.
