Guessing the date of the photo to be around 1925-1927 in Mountain Park, Oklahoma.

Allen H. Baldwin, the son of Francis Marion Baldwin and Mary Sadler, was born on 12 Dec 1868 in Limestone County, Texas. He died on 5 Jun 1931 in Fort Cobb, Caddo, Oklahoma. He was buried on 6 Jun 1931 in Oak Grove Cemetery, Caddo, Oklahoma.  Family descendants say he died of complications of diabetes.  His brother, Levi Baldwin, died just a month before Allen -- also of diabetes.
Allen married Mary Jane Stewart daughter of Henry Riley Stewart and Bettie Medlin on 22 Aug 1893 in Graham, Young, Texas.

Mary was born on 9 Oct 1873 in Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee. She died on 19 Nov 1959 in Lawton, Comanche, Oklahoma. She was buried in Mountain Park Cemetery, Kiowa, Oklahoma.  Obituary and headstone can be seen here.

After their marriage, Allen and Mary lived in Eliasville, probably near Allen's parents.  Sometime before the 1900 census was taken, they moved to Throckmorton, Texas.  After living in Texas for a few more years, Allen moved his family to Kiowa County, Oklahoma in 1904 and lived near the Stewart in-laws.  They would live the remainder of their lives in Oklahoma.

Grandchildren remember their Grandpa Allen Baldwin as being a very mild mannered, easy going, "jolly" man. He liked to tease and joke with the grandchildren. And, he was never one to discipline. On the other hand, Grandma Mary Baldwin was remembered as being very stern. She seemed to be the "Boss" of the family.

Hello Cathy - I knew Charlie Baldwin of Corcoran California, as we boarded
our horses at the same facility in town during the 1970s. Mr. Charlie had
two horses - Blackjack an Appaloosa stallion, and and Trigger a
quarterhorse gelding, both magnificent animals, and I must say that
Charlie was the finest horseman that I ever had the privilege of meeting. I
always wanted to know a bit more about him; thank you so much for investing
the time to make this website! I have forwarded the link to an old friend
of mine who knew Charlie well, as she also had horses at the same place. We
spent many a wonderful day riding our horses in the country there. Again,
my thanks for sharing this!
