First Woman Deputy Sheriff
Waco Times-Herald
October 29, 1920
MRS. FANNIE BALDWIN APPOINTED DEPUTY BY SHERIFF BUCHANAN
Sheriff Bob Buchanan has appointed Mrs. Fannie Baldwin, police matron here for a year and a half, as one of his deputies, and she has assumed her duties. Her office will be on the second floor of the court house, adjoining the space assigned to the sheriff.
Mrs. Baldwin is the first woman deputy sheriff ever named in McLennan County. While no special duties have been assigned her, according to Sheriff Buchanan, Mrs. Baldwin will give much of her time to cases involving women and girls, this feature having received her attention while she was police matron. Mrs. Baldwin, who is known to many here, filled the office of police matron with great credit to herself, and those who were instrumental in having her named for the position she now occupies predict for her the greatest measure of success.
