J. M. Baird is dead
North Topeka Pioneer was father to Mrs Charles Curtis
John Marion Baird, 84 years old, died yesterday at his home at 921 North Kansas Avenue. Mr Baird had been confined to his bed ever since Christmas Day, when he was injured while riding on a North Topeka street car. The car lurched, throwing Mr Baird across the isle and breaking one of his ribs.
Mr Baird was the father of Mrs Anna Curtis, wife of Senator Charles Curtis, who is in Washington, and will be unable to attend her father's funeral which will be held Thursday afternoon. The arrangements will be in charge of the North Topeka Odd Fellows. Mr Baird was the last surviving charter member. The funeral will be held from the Kansas Avenue Methodist church of which he had been a member for many years.
Mr Baird was born near Frankstown, Penn., November 26, 1835. He married Jane Bromberg, March 11, 1860. They came to Topeka in 1871. Mr Baird was in business here until his retirement several years ago. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs Anna Curtis, and Mrs Nettie Hunter or Arcadia, Cal. and by a son, Essington L. Baird. Mrs Baird died early last summer.
