The third of eight children, Mrs. Baum was bom Oct. 1, 1895, to John and Laura Meservy Hiatt of Parker, Fremont County, Idaho. As a youth, she hoed sugar beets in the Grande Ronde Valley Sugar Beet Addition. As a teen-ager, she drove a team of horses and wagon to Umatilla and Hermiston for supplies for La Grande and eastward. In her early years, with a scarcity of doctors and hospitals, Mrs. Baum spent hours giving assistance to the needs of family, friends and neighbors. Many of her happiest years were serving mothers and newborn babies in La Grande’s St. Joseph Hospital.
A lifetime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, her marriage to Carl Edgar Baum on June 30, 1915, in La Grande was solemnized that year on Nov. 17 in the Salt Lake City Temple.
She faithfully completed many church callings, including a stake mission and as four-time president of the Primary Association, both in La Grande and Nampa, Idaho. She used her talent as a teacher in many capacities. With a love of music, she served many times as choir director and as a chorister. She was a leader and counselor in compassionate service with the Relief Society.
As a busy wife and mother during The Depression, Mrs. Baum was employed by doctors Moore, Branner and Ross. Her summers were spent maintaining a large garden to supply food for her family and others in need.
A large ledger records her love of giving, with hundreds of relatives and friends listed as recipients of a patchwork or satin-quilted pillow, hand-stitched quilt or an innovative juice-can foot stool, especially for children
Proud of her country, Mrs. Baum often reviewed U.S. history and the presidents in chronological order. She was among the first at the voting polls and encouraged friends and family to do so too. She was proud of her heritage, including eligibility for membership in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
Three of her six sons, Percy, John and Walter Lee, saw service during World War II and in Vietnam.
Her husband died in 1958. Children who preceded her in death were: Carl, Guy, Elwin and Dr. John Baum and Judy Holman
