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."
[4364]
Date from her tombstone and also from a roster of members of the Pioneer Association of Van Buren Co., IA.
[4365]
Date from cemetery transcript. However, newspaper obituary says she died on the 6th.
