In August 1899, when he was approaching his 11th birthday, his family moved to Wichita, Kansas. In 1913, he began with his father in the transfer and cab business, and remained in this business for 29 years, until the business was sold in 1942, after which he operated a contract delivery service for a time. He later worked for the Beech Aircraft Corporation and then was a foreman for the Checker Cab Company. A protracted illness, stomach asthma and a heart condition finally forced him to stop work. Harry had one great redeeming characteristic - there was never a lazy fiber in his body. In fact, when he had a job to do he never knew when to stop working at it. He would work beyond his strength, even when a boy, until his face became haggard. Even while still a boy, he became slightly stooped. While his willingness to work was his virtue, perhaps if he had not exerted himself to such an extent while young, he would have lived longer. Harry's wife Lillian died before she was 51, due to cancer and heart trouble. That was nine years before Harry's death. Harry then kept house by himself, and it is said that he kept house very neatly. But on account of ill health he finally went to live with his daughter Jennie Schraft some months before his death. Harry was a Republican and a member of the Bethany Methodist Church of Wichita. Howard Stewart Baldwin writes of his parents, "Dad had a good business head on him and was a good mixer, had a lot of friends. He used to work with the boy scouts a lot when his sons were of scout age. He was a little hot tempered and very set in his ways. Mom was a good mother, had a lot of patience and really loved children. Our yard was always full of kids. She always was working with children in the scouts and taught Sunday school for the little ones. She loved flowers. The yard was full of them and she always had them around in the house." Jennie Schraft writes of her father, Harry Baldwin, "I remember Daddy as a short, strong, bald man with blue eyes. He had a struggle raising four healthy children through the depression of the thirties, with a sick wife during the latter part of it. Through most of his life he did hard manual labor. This caused him to be slightly stooped. We used to call him 'piano back Harry.' He was the one in the family always to lay down the law. I'll never forget when he got his first false teeth. He was an ardent cigarette smoker, and at this time when he put the cigarette into his mouth he promptly bit it in two. We had to buy him a cigarette holder to use until he mastered his false teeth. After Mother's death, Daddy was a lost soul. In February 1954 when he died it was a blessing, as he was then where he always wanted to be -'with mother.'" Of her mother Lillian Baldwin, Jennie Schraft writes, "Mother I remember as always looking the same from the time I was small until she died. She was a tall and large woman, but very soft in her ways. She had blue eyes and brown hair that was naturally curly and was always in a soft wave. From the time I was ten years old, Mother was more or less confined to the home. That was when her heart trouble began. I used to get angry because she couldn't go with me to mother and daughter banquets and other gatherings. But after God took her in 1945 when I was 21, I realized what a wonderful woman she was. She took all her years of painful suffering without complaint and they lasted right up until her death. On Sundays and holidays she would take pain killing pills so that she would be able to have the whole family home for the day and, as she thought, would be more nearly her real self. She really loved and enjoyed her family. Strange as it may seem, for all her illness, I have nothing but good memories of her. As one of her friends said recently, 'Jennie, your mother never had many of the material things in life, but she had more riches in living than anyone else I know.'
