    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.

    Notes:

    Obituary from Find a Grave and Kim Thompson:
    The Morning Sun News-Herald.

    Mrs. Catharine McElhinney-Baird was born near Londonderry, Ireland, August 10th, 1822. She departed this life April 14th, 1900.

    When about 3 years old she came with her parents to the United States, and after residing a series of years In Pennsylvania and New York; emigrated to Iowa, with the rest of the family, where they arrived April 15, 1840.

    She lacked a single day of having lived in [outside?] the state 60 years.

    She was married to John Baird in Philadelphia, March 12, 1840. Mr. Baird's death occurred on July 4th, 1881, so that she lived in widowhood almost 19 years.

    She was in the truest sense of the word a mother. Five sons and six daughters live to mourn her death. One child died in early life.

    Her grandchildren number 29, and her great-grandchildren, 3. She was eminently practical in all her life work. "She managed her affairs with discretion."

    She loved her church devoutly, and understood the principles upon which It stood. She attended church when it cost her much effort, and when she felt unable to go any other place. During her last illness, her mind was unusually clear; her anticipation of the approaching end was with a quiet faith, a comfortable hope, a well grounded assurance. In herself she saw nothing on which to depend. In Jesus Christ she saw all that her soul desired. Her end came painlessly and peacefully, like the light of the morning-star that does not set but melts away into the clearer light of the eternal day. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace."

    The funeral was attended by a vast concourse of people and among the mourners were a large number of early settlers. We note year by year how their number is being diminished. The emigrants are again emigrating -- this time to a land where infirmities of age, and sickness, and sorrow, and separation are words unknown.

    May their posterity be as true to the right and as loyal to duty as the fathers and mothers were. "Show thy work unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children."
