Who is Anna Balwin?
Anna Elizabeth Corey Baldwin was born to Ashbel W. Corey and Anna Elizabeth Corey on September 7, 1832. Anna had one child with George Thompson Baldwin, Anna Elizabeth Baldwin, who later married Alexander Muir Linnett 1. Anna Baldwin’s life is little known, however, records suggest that she and her husband ran a dairy business in Newark, New Jersey.
Despite this revolutionary design, there were still some kinks to work out. Due to the continuous suction on the cow’s udder, the cow’s mammary tissue would often be irritated, causing the cow to kick in pain 6. Improved milking machines appeared around 1883 from other farmers such as James P. Martin. However, it was not until Carl Gustav de Laval, a Swedish engineer, that the first commercially successful milking machine was designed. It was a culmination of Carl Gustav de Laval and Anna Baldwin’s inventions that led to the modern dairy farming method 7.
