GONE TO HER REST.
Sad Death of Mrs. Alex. Baird.

No sadder message was ever received
here than that which came over the
telephone from Duck Creek last Friday
announcing the death of Mrs. Alex,
Baird at about $3.50 o'clock that after
noon, at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. G. Gallagher.
She was first taken sick some three
weeks ago with the la grippe, which
about week before her death devel-
oped into typhoid fever. DIR. Richard
son remained by her bedside constantly
for three days and nights and every
thing was done which the loving hearts
of relatives and friends could suggest to
mitigate her sufferings, but without
avail. The frail form was unable to
withstand the rayages of the disease,
and she finally sank into eternal rest in
the arms OF her heart broken husband.
Deepest sorrow for the stricken fam
lily was felt throug ghout this entire com
munity. Besides the personality of the
deceased and the universal respect and
affection with which she was regarded
by all who knew her, the fact that she
was young wife and mother leant pc
culiar sadness to her untimely death.
The body was brought to Ely for
burial last Saturday afternoon. The
cortege started from the Gallagher
ranch shortly before noon and was met
on the road by large number of
friends from here, who joined in the
procession to the cemetary, where the
gathering was the largest ever known
at funeral in this place. All OF the
business houses ia town and the Chain
man mine, where Mr.. Baird was for
merly employed, were closed out of re-
spect for the deceased and the family.
The services at the grave were short
and simple. Hon. II. A. Comins read
the Episcopal service and made few
appropriate remarks, calling attention
to the beautiful character of the soul
that had beon called so suddenly and
Unexpectedly to its heavenly home. y
choir, consisting of Mssdames Paul,
Weber, Richardson, CamptoD, Miles
and Miss Comins and Messrs. Stearns
and Frank Paul, sang the beautiful
hymns, beyond the Smiling and the
Weeping and christians Good
night, after which the remains we're
tenderly lowered to their final resting
place.
Mrs. Ella Rowe Gallagher Baird was
born during visit of her mother at
her old home in We mont, on Noyem-
Der 10, 1876. She returned with her
mother to this county when but an in
fant and grew up here through child
hood and maidenhood to become good
and true woman, pure of character and
bright of disposition.
On November l3, 1898, she was mar
ried to Mr.. Alex. Baird, a highly re-
spected young man, who also had grown
up in this county. They first went to
1.-Two at Eureka, Utah, but returned last
summer TO White Pine and took up
their residence at Lane City, where Mr..
Baird was employed in the mines. Their
union was blessed with the birth of a
bright, healthy boy last October and
the future seemed to contain nothing
but sunshine for them until this fatal
illness, which falls with crushing force
upon husband, parents and brothers
and sisters, whose grief is almost incon-
solable. Two brothers, Guy and John,
who are at present in Idaho, and sis
ter Laura, who is attending school at
Cameron, Missouri, could not be reached
by telegraph in time to enable them to
attend the funeral.
