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)
