May was born in Birds, Lawrence County, Illinois on October 7, 1854. She met and married James Potts Baird on February 27, 1873. In 1878 they came to Rossville, and were one of the pioneer families of the town. Her obituary states, Mrs. James Baird died at her home in the west part of town Monday evening January 7th at the age of 52 years and 3 months. She had been a sufferer from consumption for more than two years, bearing her affliction to the end with patient Christian fortitude. Her husband, J.P. Baird, passed on to the mysterious realm of the spirit land one year ago July.
Mrs. Baird leaves six children, five boys, Luther, Charles, William, John and Martin, and one girl, Mrs. Blanche Davis, all of whom were at the bedside during her last hours.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon in the M.E. Church conducted by the Rev. Webb, and interment took place in the city cemetery.
Many friends filled the church to pay last tribute of respect to the dead whom they had known and respected for so many years for Mrs. Baird was a kind considerate neighbor and an exemplary Christian woman.
