Charles Fairbanks BAIRD, 22, who was accidentally shot by his twin brother, Beveridge [BAIRD], while hunting ducks at North Mud Lake Monday morning was unable to rally from the shock caused by his wounds and died at 11 o'clock last night at the Woodlawn Hospital. Following the accident, Dr. DIELMAN of Fulton was called and after an examination of the shattered left limb, he had the injured man removed to the Woodlawn Hospital. Because of his physical condition, nothing could be done for the injured man. An artery in the thigh was cut by the buckshot. The deceased was born on a farm near Fulton March 2, 1902 and was the son of Charles and Laura BAIRD. He was graduated from Fulton high school and on May 5, 1923, married Vera MINTER. They moved to a farm owned by his wife's parents, which is bounded by the banks of the lake on which the fatal accident occurred. Mr. Baird is survived by his parents, his wife and daughter, Evelyn Edith [BAIRD], three brothers, Beveridge [BAIRD], Walter [BAIRD] and Robert [BAIRD], and one sister, Mrs. Urbin JACKSON, all of whom live near Fulton. The body of Mr. Baird was taken to the home of his parents, who live a mile and one-half west of Fulton, Monday night. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon either at the home of his parents or in the United Brethren church at Fulton. The Rev. MILLER of Lafayette will be in charge. Burial will be made in the Fulton cemetery.
