The community was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Robert Baird which occured at her home near Columbus City, Friday, October 9, 1914. She had been sick only a few days. Pearl A. Orris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Orris, was born near Cotter August 13, 1881. She grew to womanhood in this vicinity and on December 23, 1903, she was united in marriage to Robert S. Baird, who is left to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted wife. She is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Alice Orris, four sisters, Mrs. Fred Duncan, Mrs. Ray Davis, Mrs. Kate Buffington and Miss Mary Orris and three brothers, Wilber, Hollie and Everette. She became a Christian early in life and was a consistent member of the United Presbyterian church. The funeral was held from the Methodist church Sabbath afternoon and was conducted by Rev. Robertson, of Crawfordsville.
