Byrum P. BAIRD       (ID #I12041)

(male)
Father: John B. BAIRD (b. 18 SEP 1813, d. 11 APR 1895)
Mother: Elizabeth Ann BRYANT (b. 12 DEC 1821, d. 2 JAN 1888)

Family 1 : Sarah E. RUBEL (b. CIR 1846)
Family 2 : Easter Elizabeth SHISLER (b. 07 APR 1844, d. 22 AUG 1903)

 

In 1885 census, located in Des Moines Tp., T28 R68 sec10, NW1/4 of SE1/4. Unsourced profile on Ancestry.com says he was born in Sullivan Co., IN 12 jan 1840 and died in Missouri 10 jan 1916. The death certificate in Folker Township, Clark Co., Missouri shows Byron P. Baird, widowed, farmer, son of John Baird and Eliza Bryant, born 19 jan 1840 (however, this date was written over something else), died 10 jan 1916 of "La Grippe", burial at Black Oak Cemetery, Granger, Missouri, informant Mrs. T. J. ? Baird of Cantril, Iowa. Age at death 77 years, 11 months, 22 days, which corresponds with the birth date listed on the certificate. However, the gravestone and the profile posted on findagrave.com give 12 jan 1840 as the birth date. The accompanying text on findagrave.com is not a contemporary obituary, but is instead based on genealogical research by one of the contributors. It includes the following detail, which is clearly not supported by the death certificate: "Though Byron's death certificate does not indicate it, family members reported at the time that in January, 1916 he was tied to a chair in his kitchen during a home robbery and froze to death before being discoverred." It is not plausible that such a dramatic event would not have been reported in the local press, followed by a coroner's inquest, or that it would not have been reported on the death certificate as the cause of death. However, a published obituary has not yet been located.

[4342] Census records 1850 to 1880; birthplace assumed: all Indiana references of this family point to Sullivan Co.

(male)
Father: Peter BAIRD (b. 7 DEC 1814, d. 31 AUG 1850)
Mother: Nancy BOCKOVEN (b. 3 SEP 1816, d. AFT 1880)

Family 1 : Elizabeth _____ (b. ABT 1852)
  1.  James H. BAIRD (b. ABT 1872)
  2.  John P. BAIRD (b. ABT 1876)

 

By a process of elimination, he must be the son of Peter Baird who married Elizabeth and was the father of John P. Baird of Little Rock, Arkansas. All of the other sons are accounted for.

Christopher Myers BAIRD       (ID #I12137)

(male)
Father: John B. BAIRD (b. 18 SEP 1813, d. 11 APR 1895)
Mother: Elizabeth Ann BRYANT (b. 12 DEC 1821, d. 2 JAN 1888)

Family 1 : Martha Jane Barge (Mattie) BARNETT (b. 7 MAR 1852, d. 10 FEB 1936)
  1. +Lillian Gertrude BAIRD (b. 14 NOV 1875, d. 10 APR 1960)

  4. +Marie (Mary) Alma (Birdie) BAIRD (b. 25 MAY 1881, d. 17 JUN 1953)
  5.  Eva Ethel BAIRD (b. 23 SEP 1883, d. 27 MAY 1945)

 

When did he move his family to Colorado? Could Joseph Barnett have gone with them? Might this explain why Joseph does not appear to be buried with his wife in Van Buren Co., Iowa?

A newpaper item in the Denver Rocky Mountain News, 02 aug 1893 says: "Constesting a Homestead. Christopher M. Baird yesterday filed with the register of the United States land office a notice of contest of T. V. Loveland's homestead entry No. 5959 dated November 29, 1884, for the northeast corner of section 10, township 4 north, range 69 west, being 160 acres in Larimer County. The complainant claims that Loveland has wholly abandoned the tract and is not fulfulling the residence or cultivation requirements of the law. Captain McBeth issued an order for the taking of testimony on September 9 before Notary J. H. Newell of Berthoud."

His obituary suggests some answers: Greeley Daily Tribune (Greeley, Colorado), 31 mar 1930: "C. M. Baird, 40 Years on Farms Near Here, Dies. Christopher M. Baird, for 40 years a farmer in and near Greeley, died Monday morning at 614 Thirteenth avenue, at the age of 77. Mr. Baird is survived by his wife and five children, Leroy and J. W. Baird of Greeley, Mrs. Luxton of Anaconda, Mont., Mrs. Fred McCoy and Mrs. Eva Fitzpatrick of Seattle, Wash. He is survived also by twelve grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are in charge of Sattley's Funeral Home." In the same newspaper on the next day: "Baird Funeral Wednesday Morning. Funeral services for Christopher M. Baird will be held from the Sattley Funeral Home at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning with Rev. C. O. Thibodeau of the Methodist Church in charge. Burial will be at Linn Grove." On April 4, we read: "Mrs. Thomas V. Luxton of Anaconda, Mont., was called to Greeley by the illness and death of her father, C. M. Baird of 614 Thirteenth avenue. She is here with other members of the family." — and this establishes the name of the second husband of Mary Alma ("Birdie") Baird.

The most elusive of the children of John and Eliza Bryant Baird, her story was finally uncovered by Steven Baird. Now that her obituary has been found, we understand why she was so hard to find.

Ringgold Record, 1884 (from scanned newspaper clipping, no date; scanned images accessible at:
http://www.ringgoldcountyiowa.com/obindx.html):

"Mrs. Davis, who had been sick for several weeks died in her 43d year at the house of Mr. Imus, on Thursday the 6th, P. M. The remains were interred in the south cemetery. A brother, Mr. Beard and a brother-in-law, Mr. Cochran, came from east of Ottumwa and on Monday they took the seven children with them, on their return to provide homes for them among their relatives. Mrs. Davis's sickness was distressingly painful. She bore her sufferings with great fortitude and patience. But in her last moments, God kindly closed her life peacefully, without a struggle; so that she breathed quietly away. She recogonize [sic] her friends to within a few minutes of her death, and although she could not speak she answered inquiries by a motion of the head. She did succeed in calling her children by name and clasped her hands. She was very successful as a mother in training her children. It was her constant thought and care, that they should grow up to be industrious, honorable and useful citizens. She told them so, when the [sic, should read she] was going to die three weeks ago."

Apparently, no one knew what was "east of Ottumwa" — uncharted territory! Likewise, no one knew, or was willing to mention, what had become of her husband, who is not mentioned in the obituary, even though the family reports he did not die until 1899, in Crawford Co., KS.

She is buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, Mt. Ayr, Ringgold Co., IA, in section 63-E. There is no marker for her husband. According to stories passed down to the present generations, Elizabeth was "disowned" by her father for marrying Davis, who was supposed to be "bad to drink". He must have had a reputation as a drunkard, for Elizabeth is supposed to have said she would "hold him up long enough to marry, if she had to."

[4347] Date from her tombstone and also from a roster of members of the Pioneer Association of Van Buren Co., IA.

[4348] Date from cemetery transcript. However, newspaper obituary says she died on the 6th.
