Eugene Baird February 8, 1919 
Barren County KyArchives Obituaries

Unknown Glasgow KY newspaper.
"Mr. Baird Dead. Mr. Eugene Baird died at his home near Goodnight last 
Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. His death was due to a complication of 
diseases, following a severe stroke of paralysis, suffered February 8th. The 
recent death of his son, Mr. Wood Baird, also greatly contributed to his death, 
as he was devotedly attached to him, and constantly mentioned him during the 
illness.

"Mr. Baird was in his fifty-ninth year.

"He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Maggie Wood before her marriage, and 
two daughters, Miss Mary Baird and Mrs. Harold Wilson, both of Goodnight, and 
one son, Mr. Yancey Baird.

"Funeral services were at the residence last Friday afternoon at two thirty 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. E. W. Elliott, of the Christian church, with burial 
immediately thereafter in the Rogers' burying ground.

"Mr. Baird's death followed that of his son, Mr. Wood Baird, and his siter, 
Mrs. Milton Davis, only a few days, and removes from Barren county one of the 
most useful and most successful citizens. He was a man of simple tastes and 
habits, and of open, frank,honest dealing, and enjoyed the esteem and 
confidence of many friends and acquaintenances.

"By his honesty and good management he amassed considerable wealth, and his 
fine farm of near fifteen hunded acres, is telling evidence of his frugal, 
useful and open life.

"Truly, a good man has gone - and a mighty oak has fallen."
