From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Friday, November 17, 1989, Sec. 1, p. 21:
FORT WORTH -- Myrtle Dean McDaniel Baird, widow of Deward Clayton Baird Sr., eldest son of Mrs Baird's Bakeries founder Ninnie L. Baird, died Sunday at a Houston hospital. She was 96.
Funeral will be at 3 p.m. tomorrow at Robertson Mueller Harper-Eighth Avenue. Burial will be in Greenwood Memorial Park.
Mrs. Baird was a Fort Worth native. She ahd Deward Clayton Baird Sr. were married Oct. 8, 1912, and in the early days, she worked with her husband and mother-in-law at the bakery.
A grandson, Scott Baird, said he remembers his grandmother telling of how in those early days at work, she would often have an empty egg crate handy, in which she would keep one of her sons, his father.
Mrs. Baird and her husband moved in 1938 to Houston, where Mrs Baird's opened a bakery. She returned to Fort Worth in 1965 after her husband's death and not long ago had returned to Houston to be near a son.
Of her five sons, only two survive. Clayton J. Baird of Houston is chairman of the board of the bakeries, and Eddie J. Baird of Amarillo is president of Delta Advertising Agency.
Mrs. Baird was a longtime member of University Baptist Church.
The family suggests memorials be made in Myrtle Baird's name to the humane society or to any animal shelter of choice.
Survivors: Two sons, Clayton D. Baird of Houston and Eddie J. Baird of Amarillo; nine grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and 15 great-great-grandchildren.
