OBITUARY--Baird, Octovos H. (1853 - 1917)
Octovos Hasting Baird, son of William M. and
Elsie O. Baird was born April 27, 1853, near Meadville, Crawford
Co., Penn., and died Saturday morning May 12, 1917. He was one of a
family of six children. His early life was spent in Warren and
Coford Co. Penn. When a young man he came to Greenwood, Clark
County, as one of its pioneers, spending the balance of his life in
and near here. In 1876 he was united in marriage to Margaret
Samantha Fradette, who with four children survive him, W. D. Baird
of Chicago, Mrs. Walter Raymond of Portland, Ore., Mrs. R. Milligan
of Marshfield, Wis., and Miss Goldie at home, also one sister, Mrs.
Geo. Armstrong of Meadville, Penn.
He passed away Friday evening, the cause of his death being due to
paralysis with which he had been afflicted. He was a man with a
large heart and as a neighbor and friend held a place that none can
fill.
Funeral service was held at the home Monday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. H. G. Rainey. The remains were laid to rest in the Greenwood
Cemetery.
The family has the sympathy of the community in their
sorrow.
