From The Montgomery Advertiser, September 14, 1942:

LT. BALDWIN MISSING IN PACIFIC

Mrs. Morris Baldwin yesterday received a message from the Navy Department informing her that her son, Lieut. Josiah Morris Baldwin, 26, was "missing following action."

Complying with the Navy Department's request, Mrs. Baldwin did not divulge the name of her son's ship or station, but it was known that he was in the Pacific area, and it was assumed that the action referred to was in that theater of the war.

Lieut. Baldwin, who attended Starke School here, Lawrenceville, and Princeton, where he graduated, left a position with the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, to enter the Naval Reserve in August, 1940, for officer training.  He was commissioned ensign in November of that year, subsequently advancing to lieutenant, junior grade.

Recently he enjoyed a brief leave and was visited by his mother in New York.

Lieut. Baldwin was the grandson of the late Dr. Benjamin James Baldwin and of General R. E. Steiner and Mrs. Steiner.  His father was the late Josiah Morris Baldwin.  Ensign Baldwin was a brother to  Mrs. A. A. Holbrook, Milwaukee, and the Misses Kitty and Betty Baldwin, of this city.
