Clarence Baldwin * • *V* • . t ■■ 1 - . v .,;. V,,.,-. - !■..-.V* Rappahannock County is poorer1 tljis week after the ' death of Clarence E. Baldwin. He embodied much of what is good about life here. As a member of the Board of Supervisors for 13 years, Mr. Baldwin remained an advocate for the average person. He understood that appearing before the board intimidates some citizens and went out of his way to make sure their concerns were heard. If a citizen wanted to talk about government issues without going to a meeting, Mr. Baldwin welcomed such discussion at his place of business — until he sold the store two years ago. What he may have lacked in formal eduction, Mr. Baldwin more than made up for with common sense and genuine concern for his county and its people. That extended to his private life; he was known to lend financial support to those not as fortunate as he. Mr. Baldwin truly was a man of the people. And the people miss him.
