Fannie Vivian Bras was born at Middletown, Iowa, April 11, 1894, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Bras. After teaching school for a number of years she was united in marriage with Ralph E. Baird on December 21, 1917.
Six children were born to this union, Philip J., Dorothy, Eleanor, James, Donald and Lloyd. Dorothy died March 12, 1924, at the age of three years. Philip is in the United States navy and the other four are at home, who, with their father and one brother, Russel Bras, and a sister, Mrs. Genevieve McDonald, mourn the passing of the dear one.
Mrs. Baird united with the United Presbyterian church at an early age and then transferred her membership to the Sharon Reformed Presbyterian church after her marriage with Mr. Baird. In 1928 Mr. and Mrs. Baird transferred their church membership to the Morning Sun congregation of which she remained a faithful member until her death. She was a patient sufferer for more than a year till she passed peacefully away. "She hath done what she could." "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. They rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
