MR. BAIRD DEAD.
AN AGED RESIDENT CALLED TO THE GREAT BEYOND.
William H. Baird, an aged resident, died Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at his home on Spring street. Mr. Baird had not been feeling well for
some time, but he did not think he was ill enough to need the services
of a physician, until about two weeks ago. His death was caused by
a complication of diseases. He was well advanced in years, and was
debilitated. He also suffered from a stroke of paralysis and heart
trouble. Mr. Baird was born in this state in 1834, being over 68 years
of age at his death. He was a soldier in the civil war, a Republican
in politics and a member of the M. E. church. The deceased leaves a
wife, a daughter, Mrs. John Stewart of Bedford, and fours sons, William
of St. Louis, and John, James, and Richard of this place. The funeral
services were conducted at the residence Wednesday morning at ten o'clock,
by Rev. G. F. Culmer. Burial at Walnut Hill Cemetery.
