FAYETTEVILLE NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS:
March 9, 1920 Mr. And Mrs. E. I. Baldwin of
328 N. Oxford Ave gave a dinner last evening to celebrate the birthday
anniversary of her son Charles M. Peck of Monrovia. Those present
were Mr. And Mrs. Peck, Mrs. F. W. Gridley (Edith Peck Gridley) and daughter
Helen of Brooklyn, William. H. Mathews. After refreshments, the members
of the party enjoyed a musical program and story telling. Mrs. Baldwin
celebrated her fourscore and eight anniversary in December and is remarkably
active for one of her age.
Undated Mrs. Sarah Peck Baldwin last week bought
her newest motor car, a 1915 Reo, at the age of 84. She has been
an enthusiastic motorist for several years and is often seen driving around
the crowded Los Angeles streets highways and wide highways. (Sarah
Peck Baldwin was the former wife of Marquis L. Peck and resided in Syracuse
for many years.)
Undated A Glimpse of Mrs. Russell Sage
Among the women of the metropolis whose philanthropic endeavors
have won for them well deserved renown none stands higher than Mrs. Russell
Sage, the wife of the Wall St. Financier, who, it is often said, can command
more hard cash in a short period of time than any man in Wall St.
Mrs. Sage, who was Olivia Slocum, daughter of Joseph Slocum, a former Syracusian,
is in the early sixties, but her years, despite a very busy life, sit lightly
upon her. She is about the medium height, rather slightly built,
and her manners are gracious and charming. Mrs. Sage is easily approachable.
To newspaper men, who often call at her Fifth Ave. home to interview her
husband, she is most kind. She knows many of them by sight and a
few by name, and her invariable question is, “Have I ever met you before?”
Mrs. Sage’s hair is gray, and so are her eyes—piercing gray eyes.
She dresses in deep mourning, out of respect to the memory of her mother.
She wears no jewelry, if a simple gold pin clasped at the throat is excepted.
From long experience Mrs. Sage has become a ready speaker, and there are
few women in Gotham who preside at business meetings of women’s societies
or social gatherings with more dignity and success. She possesses
the strict business methods of her husband, and these she applies to the
various charitable enterprises with which she is connected, mastering all
the details and giving everything her personal supervision. Mrs.
Sage is a highly cultivated lady and a true helpmeet to her husband.
She gives large sums every year to charity, but her bequests are so quietly
bestowed that no estimate can be formed of their amount. She is a
graduate of the Troy Female seminary of the class of 1848. The seminary
was founded by Mrs. Emma Willard in 1821, and was the first institution
established for the higher education of women. She is a consistent
church member and a strong worker in the Sunday schools.
