M. H. BAIRD, farmer, P. O. Elk City, was born in St. Charles, Kane Co.,
Ill., September 23, 1844. In August, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, of the
Eighth Illinois Volunteer Cavalry, as a private. Having been injured in the
service by the falling of his horse, which produced military disability, he
was discharged from service in March, 1862, and returned to Illinois, where
he engaged in farming. In 1872, he came to Kansas, and bought a farm
adjoining Elk City, on the north of Duck Creek. In 1881, he laid out
twenty-five acres of his farm in town lots, which is known as M. H. Baird's
addition to Elk City. He still retains a very fine farm of 125 acres, and
is engaged in farming, raising grain and stock. He was married July 4,
1865, at DeKalb, Ill., to Miss Anna Wright. They have four children -
Charles, Horace S., Hattie and Carrie
