Mr. Baird Dead. Mr. Eugene Baird died at his home near Goodnight last
Wednesday afternoon at four
o'clock. His death was due to a complication of diseases, following a
severe stroke of paralysis, suffered
February 8th. The recent death of his son, Mr. Wood Baird, also greatly
contributed to his death, as he
was devotedly attached to him, and constantly mentioned him during the
illness.
Mr. Baird was in his fifty-ninth year.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Maggie Wood before her
marriage, and two daughters, Miss
Mary Baird and Mrs. Harold Wilson, both of Goodnight, and one son, Mr.
Yancey Baird.
Funeral services were at the residence last Friday afternoon at two
thirty o'clock, conducted by Rev. E.
W. Elliott, of the Christian church, with burial immediately thereafter
in the Rogers' burying ground.
Mr. Baird's death followed that of his son, Mr. Wood Baird, and his
sister, Mrs. Milton Davis, only a few
days, and removes from Barren county one of the most useful and most
successful citizens. He was a
man of simple tastes and habits, and of open, frank,honest dealing, and
enjoyed the esteem and
confidence of many friends and acquaintenances.
By his honesty and good management he amassed considerable wealth, and
his fine farm of near
fifteen hundred acres, is telling evidence of his frugal, useful and
open life.
Truly, a good man has gone - and a mighty oak has fallen.
