• Notes

  Never married. Agnes attended school in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, Canada. Had a long relationship with Mr. George Ross of Lumsden, Saskatchewan. Was living in Lumsden, Saskatchewan in 1913, 1934, 1938, 1954 and 1959. Agnes retired in 1961. Moved to Regina, Saskatchewan in 1963. In 1965 Agnes rented the Baird farm, North 1/2 Section 35, Township 19, Range 22, West 2nd to Walter Luhning. On July 10 - 12, 1968, Agnes and cousin Lilian (Cragg) Foster from Ontario visited with relatives around Saskatchewan. In 1984 was living in Regina, Saskatchewan. She resided at Suite 502, Balfour Apartments, 2305 Victoria Avenue, Regina. In 1985, Agnes was living at 211 - 1425 College Avenue, Regina and her 93rd birthday was celebrated at Ephringhams with cake and coffee served at Lorne Glendinning's residence. Agnes returned to Lumsden to live in a nursing home. Pallbearers were great nephews: Robert, Donald and Greg Deavers, John and Glen Glendinning and Ken Baird. Buried in Christus Garden, Lot 346, Grave D-1 Regina Memorial Gardens. In a interview with Annie Emma (Baird) Hagerty August 6, 2002 she said that John and Annie Baird did not have wills so Agnes Baird got what there was. Agnes' friend, George Ross worked the farm but never any profits shown. John and Annie had a cottage but Agnes never maintained it. Agnes was very secretive about the finances of the family which caused conflict within the family. Following courtesy of Lorne Wallace Glendinning from Agnes Helen Baird's scrapbook: BAIRD - Saturday, November 26, 1988, Miss Agnes Helen Baird, 97 years of age, late of Regina and Lumsden. Predeceased by her mother (1942) and father (1913); two sisters and three brothers. Miss Baird is survived by several nieces and nephews and numerous great-nieces and nephews. Born in Park River, North Dakota, in 1891, Miss Baird and her family immigrated to Lumsden in 1904, where she worked as an assistant post mistress during her working life, and will be sadly missed by her family and friends. Funeral service was held Tuesday, November 29, 1988, at 1:30 p.m. in Speers Funeral Chapel, with Rev. William E. Perry officiating. Interment in Regina Memorial Gardens. Flowers gratefully declined, friends so wishing may make donations to the Lumsden Heritage Home.
