Read More	From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, April 12, 1923, transcribed by Linda Berney: A PIONEER LADY ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS – Mrs. Augusta Baird Died at Grand Island, is Buried Here – Friends, numbered by those who were fortunate enough to know her, were shocked when word was received here last Friday that Mrs. Augusta Baird had passed away at Burkett, where she was residing, that morning. It was known that Mrs. Baird was very ill, but none seemed to realize that the end was so near. Augusta Gaylord Baird was born March 18, 1844, at Sun Curry, Ohio, and died April 6, 1923 at Grand Island, Neb. She came to Essex, Iowa in 1876 and was married to James Baird on November 10, 1878. To this union were born two children, Carl and Nellie. In 1884 the family moved to Central City, Neb., where they resided until 1891, and from there they moved to Fremont, Neb., where Mr. Baird passed away in 1893. Mrs. Baird was a teacher in public schools for 40 years. Her first school was located in the hot bed of secession, half of the district being south of the Mason and Dixon line. She later taught school in the states of Iowa and Nebraska. In 1894 she and the two children moved to Wolbach, where she again took up teaching to support herself and children. She spent 15 years teaching in the public schools in and around Wolbach. She was a public spirited woman, and lived for the advancement of the community, always using every possible means to eliminate all evils. In early life she made profession of the Christian faith and always has been a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church. As well as being a loving and devoted mother, she was ever ready to help a friend and neighbor, and never shirked responsibility when the call came to religious leadership. She was the organizer of the first W.C.T.U. and also one of the number to help organize the first M.E. Ladies' Aid society in this community. She was one of a large family, all of the members having preceded her to the great beyond except one brother. Death was not unexpected, as her condition had been critical from the time she entered the hospital six weeks ago. The news of her passing away brought a sense of loss and grief which transcends this community and touches all who have come in contact with her. She leaves to mourn her loss one son, Carl G. Baird of Springfield, Ill., one daughter, Mrs. Nellie Bryer of Wolbach, seven grand children, Mrs. Lenore Baird Christensen, Lyle Baird, Frank, Jessie, Doris, Donald and Margarite Bryer, and one great grand child, little Arnold Baird Christensen, also one brother, Tom Gaylord of Grand Island, also a large number of nieces and nephews, all of whom will miss "Aunt Gus" sadly. The funeral was held here Sunday, conducted by Rev. Ralph M. Fagan assisted by Rev. R. A. White, and interment made in the local cemetery. CARD OF THANKS – We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and after the death of our beloved mother, and especially do we thank those who made her last days more cheerful by remembering her with cards and letters of love and sympathy; also those who sent such beautiful floral offerings, the W.T.C.U., the Odd Fellows and the individual friends. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bryer and Children, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Baird and Children.
