ROBERT BAIRD It is pleasant to recall the lives and activities of those who have bravely and cheerfully done their duty in life and have thus contributed much to make life well worth the living and especially to repeat such a life story as that of Robert Baird a Scotchman who became one of the best of American citizens was a devoted husband and father and left in his widow an estimable woman upon whom his children shower their affections He was born in Scotland on November 20 1851 came to the United States and for a while settled at Virginia City Nev where he tried his luck at mining and prospecting Moving still further to the West he became a pioneer of Fresno County and about 1882 engaged with his brothers Andrew, Dugal and John in dairying establishing in the Washington Colony what was known as the Baird Dairy which retailed milk in Fresno. As Baird Bros the firm enjoyed an enviable reputation for honesty and enterprise and prospered from the start.

When Robert Baird sold out his interest in the concern and the partnership was dissolved he located in the Kutner school district in 1901 and bought the tract of forty acres which soon came to be identified with his name. It was a stubble field but by hard labor he so improved it that it smiled as a choice vineyard and orchard. On January 5 1909 however Mr Baird widely honored by all who knew him and especially esteemed by the Masons to whom he was affiliated through the Fresno Lodge passed away in his fifty eighth year Mr Baird was married while at Fresno in 1887 and his bride was Miss Charlotte Rogers a native of Birmingham England who had been orphaned when she was very young.
