Her parents came to Nebraska when she was only a baby and settled on a homestead near Palmer. There she grew to young womanhood, and in 1905 she was married to Harry Baird.
To this union two sons were born, Charles of Redwood City, Calif., and Dr. Vernon of Sonora, Calif.
In the year 1904 Harry Baird and Charles Curtis came to Calloway and were associated in business together. However, in 1919 the Baird family moved to California and some years later it was there that Mr. Baird preceded his wife in death.
Mrs. Baird was a charter member of Clara Chapter No. 222 Order of Eastern Star of Calloway. She was active in church work and was a communicant of Holy Trinity Episcopal church.
