The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Mar 15, 1867, p. 3.
DIED.

	On Thursday morning, March 7, after an illness of four weeks, 
Lieutenant Edward L. Baird, of Perrysburg, Ohio.

	Resolutions of Condolence.

	At a special meeting of the members of Post No. 38 of the Grand Army of 
the Republic, held March 8, 1867, at Perrysburg, Ohio, the following amongst 
other proceedings, were had:

	Whereas, Our friend and comrade, Lieutenant Edward L. Baird, after 
having safely passed through many hard-fought battles, in four years' service 
in the Army of the Union unharmed, now when peace has succeeded war, and our 
brave companion in arms had returned home to enjoy, with his family and 
friends, the well-earned honors and fruits of his services to his country, God, 
in His inscrutable wisdom has removed him from this life;

	And, while we humbly submit to the will of our Heavenly Father, "who 
doeth all things well," yet, we cannot but mourn the loss of our friend and 
former companion in arms and earnestly sympathize with his deeply afflicted 
widow and orphan children; Therefore, be it

	Resolved That, as a public expression of our grief, we will wear the 
usual badge of mourning.

	Resolved, That we tender to the widow of our late brother in arms and 
his orphan children, our unfeigned sympathy in this, their darkest hour of 
earthly afflictions.

	Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings, signed by the proper 
officers, be presented to the widow and children of our late comrade, and also 
to his mother, and that a copy be furnished to the Editor of the Perrysburg 
Journal, with the request that it be published.

	P.S. Slevin, Post Commandant, Earl W. Merry, Post Adjutant.
