The Late Miss Baird
Last autumn Miss Jeanie Baird one of the well-known Baird sisters on the eighth line of Ramsay, accidentally fell and injured her leg, since which time she was unable to walk, and at her great age, 84, she declined by degrees till last Friday evening, when she paid the debt of nature. Deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents sixty-four years ago, settling the same year on the homestead in Ramsay on which she died, on which she spent all her life in Canada. In the early days the family was one of the most prominent and respected in the district, and the deceased lady was an intelligent, wellread person, with unusual powers as a musician, having been sent of Belfast, Ireland, to finish her musical training. Like all the rest of the family, she had quite a reputation for her knowledge of law. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended. Rev Mr. Mitchell officiated. The sister of deceased, Miss Bella Baird, was with deceased in the closing years of her life, and the latter had the attention of other kind and thoughtful relatives and friends.

Very Sudden Death
Last Monday morning at half-past eight, while Mr Gilbert Cannon was conversing with Mr Wm Baird in the latter's residence, Mr Baird , who had been sitting up, made an effort to get into bed, and while doing so fell to the floor and expired immediately. He had been troubled with heart disease for some time, and it was feared that the thread of life in his case might be broken at any time; but few thought he would be cut off with such terrible suddenness, Mr Baird had borne beyond life's allotted span, and his continued sickness had greatly weakened him. He was of a quiet disposition, a great reader, and was possessed of a valuable fund of knowledge; and those who were intimate with him say that, although of a somewhat blunt exterior, he was a genial conversationalist and a warm-hearted friend. His lengthy connection with the woolen mill here made him a familiar figure on our streets up to the commencement of his illness; and many expressions of regret at his sudden removal are heard. Mrs Baird has the sympathy of a host of friends in her bereavement. The funeral take place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery.

The Late John Baird
Mr. John Baird, proprietor of the woolen mill here, died at his home on the eighth line of Ramsay on Saturday last, aged 74 years. He had been ill for a couple of years, and for months past was quite helpless. He had not been able to come to town for nearly a year prior to his demise. Deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada with his parents over sixty years ago. His father settled on the eighth line shortly after arriving, and lived there with his family till his death, about twenty-five years ago. The family was one to the most prominent and respected in the township. In the early days they carried on a mercantile business in Ramsay, and built a grist mill and oatmeal mill on their farm, in which lines they did a flourishing business. The older residents tell us that for twenty years or more they had a contract to supply the Hudson Bay Co. with flour, and that it was not an uncommon sight to see the H.B. Co's. "Trains," consisting of one hundred sleighs or more, driven by Frenchmen, leave the Baird mills on their long trip via Pembroke and Fort William for the forts at Mattawa, Temiscamingue and points further north. About thirty years ago deceased secured the grist mill in town which was so long conducted by the late Alexander McLean, and operations in Ramsay were discontinued. Mr Baird also purchased the present woolen mill from Mr. Gilbert Cannon twenty-two years ago, and was proprietor of it at his death. Like his brother William, who died a few years ago, and the sisters who remain deceased was an exceedingly well-informed man, and had a penchant for information on matters of law. He never married. Although of a somewhat eccentric nature, the late John Baird was generous, genial and kind, and interesting conversationalist, and won the esteem of his employees and all who were intimate with him. A few decades ago the homestead in Ramsay was one of the finest properties in the township, in a grand location; but for many years back it has been neglected, and has sadly fallen from its proud position. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, the remains being interred in the eighth line cemetery. Rev Mr. Mitchell officiated. The mill here has been closed since Mr. Baird's death but will resume operations next week.

Miss Isabella Baird
One of the best-known women in this section was Miss Isabella Baird, only surviving sister of the late Messrs. John and William Baird, who were factory-owners here for many years. Since the death of her sister Jeanie (who lived with her on the farm on the eighth line of Ramsay) Miss Baird resided alone in the old homestead. Mr. David Moir and family and some of the nearer neighbours looking to her interests. Last Thursday Dr. Burns called on Miss Baird, and found her in her customary health. On Saturday evening Mrs John Snedden called and found the doors locked. next morning, getting uneasy, Mrs Snedden had her son and his wife go over; They did so, and on entering the house found Miss Baird lying in bed unconscious. Medical help was summoned and all that could be done for her was done but on Monday evening she succumbed, never having regained consciousness from the time she took a paralytic stroke, with is supposed to have been while in bed during Friday night. Deceased was a remarkable women for her wide knowledge on many subjects, and particularly for her skill in discussing points of law. She was the last survivor of the family. With her demise the name is blotted out. Miss Baird was born in Glasgow, Scotland, seventy-five years ago, and came to Canada with her parents sixty-six years ago, settling the same year on the farm on which she died. In the early years the Baird family was one of the most prominent in the district, noted for their intelligence, as well as for some eccentric characteristics. Deceased made a will leaving her effects to Mr. Gilbert Allan, of Ottawa.
