By 1890, Baldwin had returned to his hometown of Hastings, Michigan, and taken up farming.[18] At the time of the 1900 Census, Baldwin was living in Hastings with his wife Dora E. Baldwin.[19] He remained in Hastings for the remainder of his life and became a successful orchard owner and farmer. In 1910, he was seriously injured when he fell from a hay mow, breaking his collarbone. The injury deprived Baldwin of the full use of his right arm, and he underwent surgery at the University of Michigan Hospital to correct the problem.[20] In 1914, he was again seriously injured after falling from a ladder and was unable to walk for months.[21] He later went into the real estate business in Hastings.[6]
Baldwin died in 1937 after an illness of six months at age 77.[22] He was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Hastings.[1]
