General Notes: Husband - Andrew Todd Baird


He was born at the home of his grandparents in Washington, PA, but was taken to Ripley, Ohio, where he remained until 1836, thence moved to Wheeling, WV, in which city he lived till 1844, there receiving a part of his education. At the age of seventeen (1848) He graduated at Washington and Jefferson College, where he took a classical course. For a time he studied law with his uncle, but for some reason abandoned it. He learned telegraphy, and in 1851 had charge of the telegraph office at Washington, but resigned to enter his father's store. In 1860 he became a partner with his father, and on the latter's death succeeded to the business. For twenty years (1868 to 1887) he was treasurer of Washington and Jefferson College; was treasurer of the First Presbyterian Church sixteen years (1869 to 1885) and at the time of his death the church was out of debt; for thirty years he was librarian of the Sunday-school. Mr. Baird had joined the church in 1856, and lived the life of a true Christian. He was a most conscientious man and gave liberally of his means to all deserving charities and beneficent institutions, and on June 6, 1856, he commenced to devote one-tenth of his income for that purpose. He was a stanch Republican, at all times standing firmly and conscientiously by his political opinions. [CBRWC, 250]
