After many years spent in cultivating the soil of any one vicinity, the average Michigan farmer is louth to turn over his life work to other hands, but on coming to the realization that the time has come for him to retire from active pursuits and settle down to the enjoyment that his years of toil have earned for him, he invariably retires to the nearest town or village and there becomes one of its best citizens. Among this class stands Nelson D. Baird, highly esteemed retired citizen of Milan and ex-soldier of the great Civil War, who for forty-four years cultivated the soil of Milan township.
