J. D. Baird Had Lived
In Bosque Fifty Years
In the passing of Jeff D. Baird
from this earth to his immortal
home, Bosque County lost a valued
and honorable citizen, who had
spent more than half a century
within her realms.
Mr. Baird was born in Spring-
field, La., April 19, 1861. At the
age of eleven, he came with his
family to Cleburne, receiving his
education there. At sixteen, he
felt the lure of West Texas, and
there he became interested in ship-
ping wild horses to the East. Some-
times he went with his cargo and
stayed over to “break” Texas
MuJlangs into safe-riding horses
for the Easterners. The firm of
Wilder and Pollard, owners of the
Butterick Publishing Co., of New
York City, were the main buyers
and their interest in Mr. Baird led
them to the purchase of the Kel-
lum Ranch at Cayote, in this coun-
ty, and to locate him there as their
manager, where he remained for
several years.
To this ranch home in October,
1893, he took his bride, the for-
mer Miss Mary McCandless, of
Meridian. When the ranch was
sold, Mr. Baird, with his family,
moved to Meridian, where he re-
sided until his death November 8,
1942, his wife having passed away
in 1927. He was the last of a fam-
ily of nine brothers and one sis-
ter, and a devoted member of the
Methodist Church, also a member
of the I. O. O. F.
For several he had been in fail-
ing health, but retained his cheer-
ful disposition and pleasure in his
family and friends.
He was the father of five child
ren, ren, Mary Wilder Baird (de-
ceased). Pollard Baird, Ft. Worth;
Mrs. Adeline Raffel, and Nellie
Sue Baird, Meridian; J. D. Baird,
of the U. S. Navy, and two grand-
children, Bobby Baird and Sara
Raffel.

O. B. ROQUEMORE GRANDSON
IS SANTA FE TRIP WINNER
Nineteen farm youths, chosen
for their outstanding records in
4-H Club work, have been an-
nounced as winners of Santa Fe
Railway’s 1942 educational awards
that will take them to Chicago for
the National Club Congress, Nov.
29 to Dec. 2.
Included in the group, as an-
nounced by L. L. Johnson, State
Boys Club Agent (a former County
Agent of Bosque County), is Char-
les Hickman, 17, of Mr. and Mrs.
Guynn Hickman, of Truscott, and
grandson of Mr. and Mrs. O. B.
Roquemore, of Meridian.
The Santa Fe contributed to the
encouragement of 4-H Club work
in this manner since the national
congress was organized, offering
sixty-five awards each year in nine
states embraced by the railroad.
Because of wartime restrictions on
travel and other items this year,
however, the number of awards has
been reduced in keeping with the
general curtailment program.
Each winner receives as an
award from the railroad a sum of
cash equal to expenses of the trip
to Chicago and return, including
train fare, lodging and meals. Com-
pany officials emphasized that the
purpose of the trip is purely educa-
tional. The Santa Fe will compli-
ment its winners, totaling fifty,
with a breakfast at the Hotel Bis-
marck, Chicago on Tuesday morn-
ing, December 1st.

The Lions played the Evant Elks
last Friday on the home gridiron.
The score was 20-6. The Elks made
their touchdown on a blocked kick
after which one of the Evant boys
ran it over. Tindall, Cowan and
Rogstad were the boys who carried
the Lions to victory by making
touchdowns. This was the Lions’
last game and they feel they have
been very successful this season
because they have won all games
played against schools in their con-
ference.
The basketball team has been
organized and the boys hope to
see as many fans at the basketball
games as there were at the foot-
ball games.
