Mary "Polly" Fenton BAIRD was born in Mason county, Kentucky.  She was married 
on May 17, 1832, to John BAIRD, a well-to-do farmer, living near Russellville, 
Ohio, son of George and Jane BAIRD.  He was born May 9, 1807, and died march 
10, 1884. Both are buried in the Baird graveyard near Russellville.

"Polly" BAIRD was an honest, cheery, industrious woman; was a model housewife 
and life long member of the Methodist Church.  To her came the honor of being a 
mother of twin daughters.

A friend of hers has written of her as follows:  She was a likeable, old-
fashioned woman, whose like is seen no more; honest, but unassuming, a hard 
worker all her life. Her home was one of great plenty and she helped to maek 
her husband a rich man.  She raised a large family of childrfen but I don' know 
how many.  She died in a gold old age.  I think her children could well call 
her "blessed"
