Baldwin Maull ’22

Baldy Maull, one of our most prominent and beloved classmates, died of heart failure Dec. 14, 1995. He was 95. The day before he died, he had traveled from his home at Meadow Lakes for a game of bridge at the Nassau Club, then attended a Christmas party, and died peacefully early the next morning. He is survived by his wife, the former Flora Davis, a son, Baldwin Jr. '53, a daughter, Diana, and two grandchildren, John B. '88 and Jenny Clifton Maull.

Baldy attended the Friends School in Wilmington, Del., and received his LLD from the Univ. of Pennsylvania in 1925. He practiced law with Sullivan & Cromwell until 1934, when he joined the Marine Midland Trust Co. as v.p. He rose to become president and chairman of the board of the Marine Midland Corp. in Buffalo, retiring in 1966. Baldy was appointed by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to the New York Board of Social Welfare. He was a leading advocate for increasing aid to poor children and families.

After retirement, he and Flora moved to Princeton and traveled extensively. Baldy wrote the book John Maull and His Descendants, many articles of Delaware history and genealogy, and was a collector of early Greek coins. Among his work for Princeton, he was national chairman of Annual Giving from 1948-49 and from 1949-50.

We will miss his presence and service.
