The remains of Arch F. Baird were laid to rest in the old Hamblen cemetery, five miles west of Thorndale, at 4 o’clock last Sunday afternoon in the presence of probably the largest concourse of friends ever assembled on a burying ground in that section of the San Gabriel country.
Deceased was about forty-two yeas of age and was born in Garrad County, Kentucky. He came to Texas with his father’s family some twenty-five years ago … He was of a kind and generous nature, and true to his friend and all obligations. He was a member of Thorndale Lodge No. 280, Knights of Pythias, Consul Commander of the Hare Camp Woodmen of the World and a member of San Gabriel Camp Modern Woodman of America.
He leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Baird of near San Gabriel, one brother, Pete Baird now of Buckholts and five sisters, Mrs. Gus Newton of Thorndale, Mrs. D. W. McFaddin, of Circleville, Mrs. J. P. Hamblen of Hare, Mrs. Nolan Maddox of San Gabriel and Mrs. Robert Harris of Buckholts, besides a number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn his tragic and untimely death. …

Asleep In Jesus Blessed Sleep,
From Which None Ever Wake To Weep.
A Calm And Undisturbed Repose,
Unbroken By The Last Of Foes.
Asleep In Jesus Far From Thee
Thy Kindred And Their Graves May Be,
But Thine Is Still A Blessed Sleep,
From Which None Ever Wake To Weep.
