Mr. Daniel Baird
We have to chronicle this week the death of Mr. Daniel Baird, of Hopetown, who passed away aat the Victoria Hospital, Montreal. Deceased had been complaining since last September, and a week ago Monday went to the hospital where it was found he was suffering from kidney trouble. Everything that could be done by skilled hands to relieve the sufferer was done, but last evening he succumbed to the inevitable. Mrs. Baird and Mrs Jas. McCurdy, of this place, went to Montreal on Monday night, and were present at the deathbed. Mr. Baird was born on the homestead, near Hopetown, 58 years ago, wher he resided until about four years ago, when he sold his farm and moved into the village. He was well-known throughout the county, having bought cattle and lambs for many years, and for the last twenty years was tax collector for Lanark Township. He was also in partnership with Jas Herron in the Clyde Cheese Factoryl Thirty Two years ago he married Miss Margaret McLaughlin, of Middleville, and this union was blessed with a family of three children - Mrs. Jas. McCurdy of this place, Daniel, cheesemaker at Hopetown; and Carrie, at home.

"The entire (Baird) trail (in Lanark, Ont, near Herron's Mills) now covers about three kilometres, with interpretive panels along the path to point out different types of trees and natural landmarks. History of the property
A pioneer family first settled on the property in 1837, with basic food crops and livestock in the fields and a forest that provided lumber, fuel and maple syrup. The sandy soil was not ideal for agricultural, and the lowlands flooded due to beaver dams.
The land was left idle in the 1920s. In 1963, Margaret Baird sold the 36-hectare parcel to the county, which planted a red-pine planation as part of a conservation program.
To reach the trail, take Hwy. 511 north to Herron Mills Road and turn right. The trail entrance is on the left at 2410 Herron Mills Road. The spot has a parking lot, a picnic area and pit toilets at the entrance to the trail." (CMcF2012)

Daniel married Margaret McLachlan on 3 Jul 1868 in Middleville, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Margaret (daughter of John McLachlan and Christina Somerville) was born on 23 Jan 1845 in Middleville, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 27 Oct 1924 in Drummond Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 5 Nov 1924 in Hopetown Cemetery, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Obituary
In the death of Mr. Thomas R. Bulloch of Hopetown which occurred on Friday, 30th March, Lanark Township and Lanark County lost one of their most enterprising and best known farmers. The late Mr. Bulloch was born near the farm on which he lived and prospered for many years and on which he died. Early in life he married Jane Lochead, daughter of William Lochead, postmaster at Brightside, who preceded him to the grave a little more than three years ago. Some time ago Mr Bullock became aware that he was a victim of diabetes and that it was only a matter of time when he would have to succumb to the effects. About two weeks ago he went to Kingston to consult with eminent physicians there but the treatment being more severe than he could bear he returned home on Tuesday of last week and breathed his last on the following Friday. The funeral, which took place on sunday afternoo, was one of the largest ever seen in that section, as he was known by nearly every one in the county. He was a member of Evergreen Lodge A.M. and A.M., Lanark Village, for many years. He was also a member of the International Order of Foresters in which he carried insurance. At his own request, he was buried with Masonic honors by Evergreen Lodge, assisted by the Masons from Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte to the number of about 60 to the Hopetown Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs W.C. Caldwell, MPP; T.B. Caldwell, Jas. McFarlane, J.H. Wilson, W.H. McKinley and J.W. Stewart of Evergreen Lodge. The late Mr. Bulloch was one of the most extensive breeders of purebred stock in the county and was a member of the Lanark Township Council for ten consecutive years. Over a year ago he married Miss Agnes Craig who, with a large family, survives him and who will have the deepest sympathy of the whole community in the sad loss of so estimable a husband and father.

Thomas married Jane Lochead. Jane was born on 29 Feb 1849 in Brightside, Darling Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 25 Dec 1890 in Hopetown, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Hopetown Cemetery, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

James Baird came from Glasgow but was originally from Perthshire Scotland. He appears to have sailed with seven children but without his wife, Janet King. She appears to be buried with him at Hopetown so possibly she remained behind and joinde him in 1821. Some women, pregnant or with a sick child, did this." The Lanark Society Settlers, Carol Bennett
