    Obituary from Find a Grave and Kim Thompson:

    Prominent Farmer Is Laid to Rest.

    In the death of James Wallace Baird, which occurred September 27th (1923), the community suffers a real loss. He was one who could be depended upon, clear spoken, and ever ready to help those in need. His kindly counsel will be greatly missed.

    He was born September 18, 1847, in Louisa County, Iowa, and died at is home near Mediapolis, Iowa, nine days after his seventy-sixth birthday. On April 7th, 1871, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Walkenshaw and had lived in the home where he passed away, fifty years.

    To this union nine children were born, all of whom live near Morning Sun, with the exception of Dr. Oliver E. Baird of Blanchard, Iowa. All the children are living with the exception of Otto C. Baird, who passed away in 1910. The remaining children are: Mrs. Minnie L. Carithers, Edmund A., Merrill W., Oliver E., Ralph E., Oscar M., Mrs. Lena May Robertson and Mrs. Blanche U. Thompson.

    Early in life he joined the Sharon Reformed Presbyterian church where, in after years, he served faithfully as deacon, and to the end of his life he was treasurer until failing health made it impossible, Mr. Baird was to be found regularly at the church he loved on the Sabbath day.

    Those who were bending over him in his last moments caught his last words "The Almighty has power."

    Funeral services were conducted at Sharon church and he was buried at Sharon cemetery, Saturday, September 29, 1923.
