Charles W. Baird died at his home at Wilkinsburg yesterday of typhoid
fever, aged 25 years.  The deceased was born in Hollidaysburg and was
a son of the late Martin K. Baird, ex-jail warden of Blair county.  He
was a popular young man and had many friends both in Altoona and this
place who will learn of his untimely taking away with profound sorrow.
He is survived by his wife Eva, and a little daughter.  Also by his
mother, Mrs. M. K. Baird, and two brothers, Roller, of South Amboy, N.
J., and Martin, at home.  The remains will be brought here for
