Maude Augusta Welch Baldwin, 104,
of Franklin entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2008.
Born in 1903, she was the first
of 15 children born to Wilburn and Alice Kimsey Welch. The family moved from
Swain County to the Lower Burningtown community of Macon County when Maude was
a child.
She was married in 1923, to one
of Macon County's finest carpenters, Donald Judson Baldwin, who passed away in
1976, after 53 wonderful years of marriage. Also preceding her in death was an
infant daughter, Betty Lou; six brothers, Frank, Ralph, Howard, Bill, Edgar,
Fred, and Kenneth; three sisters, Eula Welch, Lucy Catway, and Adibell Stanley;
one son-in-law, Robert (RL) Crawford; and one grandson, Jerry Alan Hubbell.
Survivors include two sisters,
Muriel Welch of the old home place, and Joanna Hedrick and husband John of
Charlotte; and two brothers, Paul and wife Louise of Franklin and Lewis and
wife Peggy of Jefferson City, Tenn. Maude has three surviving children, Charles
Baldwin of the home, Thelma Crawford of Sylva, and Nell Hubbell and husband

Maude started teaching school at
age 16 in Aquone. Some students in the "primer" were older than she
was. After marriage and children, she resigned and worked as a seamstress from
her home and from a shop in Franklin. Some of her friends still have wedding
gowns and dresses made by her more than 50 years ago. At age 55, she was
employed by Belk's of Franklin as a sales associate and buyer of domestics.
After retiring at age 66, she continued to work part-time until age 80. She
also volunteered at Maco Crafts.
Maude attributes her 104 years as
a blessing from the Lord, serving others, and a lot of hard work that began
many years age when she took care of her siblings and toiled on the farm.
Through the present time, she has continued enjoying life, sewing her treasured
little aprons, doing household chores and showering joy, happiness, and gifts
on all those around her. Maude loved her 1963 Chevy Nova, which she drove until
age 93, as well as her black cat "Inkey", which she had for 18 years.
She brought a ray of sunshine to all who knew her. Those who were blessed by
knowing her will always remember her kind, caring, and gentle spirit.
