Hannah Baird, 64,
Florence
Mrs. Hannah Hume Baird, 64 of Florence,
champion of women, political activist and
community leader passed away of esophageal
cancer on March 31, 2004, at her home. She
was born in 1939 in Sterns, Ky., a company
town in McCreary County, to C. Whitman and
Hattie P. Hume. Her father was the editor of
the local newspaper and the school
superintendent.
She graduated from Sullins Junior College
for Women in Virginia and the University of
Kentucky, she married fellow UK student
Glenn F. Baird in 1958. When he later
attended the University of Louisville
medical school, she taught in the Jefferson
County school system.
They lived in North Carolina while her
husband served in the Marines at Camp Le-jeune,
after moving to Florence in 1964, Mrs. Baird
became involved in philanthropy. Her driving
force was her father, he had been poor when
he was young, and he felt his life had been
saved by education. He worked very hard to
try to improve the lives of the coal miner’s
children in the county by providing them
education, Hannah wanted nothing more than
to be like daddy, have influence on people,
her sister said.
Ms. Hume said her sister wanted justice,
especially for women. She had been “a really
good housewife, cook, gardnerer, but she was
very affected by the women’s liberation
movement. That’s how she kind of started
out, she had a very strong will, had her
opinions, and she wasn’t afraid to tell
anyone”.
Mrs. Baird was instrumental in developing,
the Dinsmore Homestead Foundation, which is
a preserved 1842 Boone County pioneer farm.
She loved history, when the Dinsmore family
was trying to deceide what to do with the
homestead, Hannah got very involved with the
family. She became friends with Martha
Breasted (a fifth-generation descendant of
James Dinsmore, the original owner). She
stirred up the enthusiam of everybody else
to form the Foundation. I think Dinsmore was
her favorite place.
She was an organizer and advisor for
Kentucky’s Demo-cratic Party; a founding
member and chairwoman of the nonpartisan
Kentucky Women’s Political Caucus; a member
and chair of the Kentucky Comm-ission on
Women; chair of Congressman Ken Lucas’s
1990s election and re-election campaigns for
the Boone County Bicentennial Comm-ission.
She served as a member of the National
Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity in
the Carter administration. In 1978, she was
an Enquirer Woman of the Year. In, March the
Ken-tucky Commission on Women added her
portrait to the Kentucky Women Remembered
collection on display at the state Capitol.
Mrs. Baird will be honored with the Lifetime
Advocate Award in an April 21 ceremony by
the Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky
Award panel.
Mrs. Baird’s father, Whitman Hume was a
descendent of the Hand Family that were
large land owners in Morgan. The Hand Family
Cemetery is behind the Morgan Cemetery,
which was formed in 1901 when the Hand
family and a couple other families donated
land to create the Morgan Cemetery. Mrs.
Baird’s father and mother are buried there.
Survivors include her husband; son, Glenn
W., of Char-lotte, N.C., and daughter,
Hannah E., also of Charlotte.
A graveside service was held on April 3,
2004 at the Hume Family Cemetery, section of
Morgan Cemetery, Pendleton County, Ky., by
