Mrs. A.B. Baird, active in Church Work Here, Dies
Was Outstanding Figure in Realm of Women's Activities for 50 years
Penelope Campbell Baird, wife of Dr. A.B. Baird, professor of church history at Manitoba college, died early today at her home, 247 Colony St. Her health had been slowly declining for a number of years.

Mrs. Baird was an outstanding figure in the realm of women in Winnipeg for half a century. She was a charter member of Augustine church of which her husband was founder and first pastor, being particularly interested in the work of the Womenn's Missionary Society and formerly president.

The Children's home of Winnipeg claimed much of Mrs. Baird's time from the second year of its existence until ill health confined her to her home. In the early years when the home, then located on River ave., was struggling to become established, Mrs. Baird and her associates on the board of directors were required to investigate the cases of all children recieved to find suitable homes for them, and to collect funds.

To the performance of these tasks, Mrs. Baird gave much time and energy, visiting families in all parts of the city. For a period she was first directress on the board.

Other organizations in which she was active included the Women's Musical Club and the Social Science Club.

Mrs. Baird wa born in Galt, Ont., the daugher of Peter Cook. She was acquainted with Dr. Baird before he left for Scotland to carry on post graduate theological studies. When he had completed a term as missionary in Northern Alberta, and had been appointed to the staff of Manitoba colleg in Winnipeg, he returned to Galt and married Miss Cook and brought her here as a brude.

Two sisters and one brother of Mrs. Baird predeceased her many years ago. Her son, Lt. Andrew Stuart Baird, was killed while fighting with the 14th Battalion, C.E.F., at Amiens.

Surviving her, besides Dr. Baird, are three daughters, Helen, Minneapolis; Agnes, nurse of Winnipeg public schools' staff and formerly of the Rockefeller foundation hospital staff in China; and Marjorie, also a trained nurse, at home.

Funeral rites will be conducted Tuesday at 2:30 pm in Thomson's chapel by Rev. A.E. Kerr, pastor of Augustine church. Burial will be in Elmwood cemetery.

Mrs Baird was warmly praised by Mr. Kerr during the Sunday morning service in Augustine church when word was received of her death. On behalf of the congregation the minister expressed regret at the loss of the pioneer woman, and voiced condolence for the bereaved family.
