  	The community in and around Kinburn was shocked on Monday morning last to receive the news that one of our close and well-known neighbours had passed away in the person of Mr. W. J. Baird, at the early age of 49 years. Mr. Baird was one of a large family being the eldest son of the late Mr. Samuel Baird and Mrs. Baird. He was a very busy man as far as his strength would allow having sat at the council board for some time and being connected actively with the Independent Order of Foresters and with the Orange Order. But of late he suffered greatly from a weak heart. Even on the day of his death he had risen in the morning and seeming to feel somewhat stronger and more energetic than he had for some days, had gone out and was working around in the morning. Becoming wearied he sought the house and lay down, and in a very short time his wife hearing sounds as of snoring proceeding from his bedroom on entering found her husband passing quietly out of this life. The funeral which was conducted by the bretheren of the Orange Order was held on Wednesday at one o'clock to the Anglican Church and Cemetery at Diamond the Rev. Richards of Fitzroy Harbour officiating and taking as the basis for his remarks 1 Thessalonians, 4th chapter and latter part on the 17th verse. Rev Reid of March and Rev. R. B. Waterman of Carp were also present and took part in the service. The cortege was a large one, so many being anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to a brother who had always shown such a friendly, genial spriit and been anxious to assist projects which were for the community welfare. The pall-bearers were three bretheren from No. 5 Orange District, Messrs J. B. Smyth, E. E. Ross and Victor McCord, also three from the Royal Black Perceptory Messrs. Wallace Davis, John Armstrong and Thos. Olive. Deaceased leaves a widow formerly Miss Crissie Delahunt, and a family of ten children, Mrs. T. H. Munro, of Kinburn; Mrs. William Munro of Blackburn and eight younger boys and girls some of them of tender years. His mother and four brothers survive him, S. E. Baird, Kinburn; Robert Baird, Redlands, Cali.; Jno A. Baird of Ottawa and Allan Baird of Woodlawn also four sisters, Mrs. T. Ross of Montreal; Mrs Bowes and Mrs. Crozier of near Renfrew and Mrs. Craig of Kinburn. To these bereaved and sorrowing friends the sincere sympathy of the community is extended in the undergoing of this trial. Source: Family Papers - Newspaper clipping
