Marion Baird had a scar on his head that was a result of a gunshot wound inflicted by Kelly Bishop over moonshine. Bernice Baird story as told to a neighbor. Marion Baird drove a school bus. Didn't work anywhere else except the school bus and moonshine. Kelly Bishop was a revenueer and shot him at a still. He was the father of Marion Simms Baird. James Walter Baird, MD, was the father of Marion Baird.

The Baird cemetary on Rt. 612 is called Grape Hill.

Marion Baird was also a church going man.

Quoted from "The Descendants of Alexander Peter Baird II" written in 1935 by
Kathleen Baird to her father Leonidus F. Baird: "James Walter Baird attended
John's Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. where he received his M. D. degree.
He practiced medicine in Surry County."
Jean Goodrich Johnson comments: "He lived on Route 40 about 4 mi. E.
of Waverly. The house he owned was removed about 1964 by George L.
Peffer, then owner who built a brick ranch type house in front of the old house.

Notes:

(Medical):sent William Franklin Harrison's wife, Sarah E. Baird, to France to receive treatments for T.B. where she died.

Hi Gene,

Sarah Ellis Baird Harrison died in 1888. Her daughter married a Goodrich much later but did the Harrison's have a connection with the Goodriches or the Goodrich farm in 1888. There is no marker for Sarah in the Goodrich Cemetery and Sarah is not recorded on either of the cemetery inventory papers that Wanda showed us (written by her family).

The note I found was written by Sarah Johnson (Collier Johnson's wife) when they paid someone years ago to research family history. They think that she is buried in Prince George near Newville.

She died in France (receiving treatments for TB) so I guess there is even a chance that they did not send her body back home.

It's a mystery I guess....

Thanks for all the info and CD! It has been fascinating!!! And very helpful!

Brenda Johnson Duckwall

Sarah was my grandmother, Adelaide Cornelia Harrison's mother. Sarah died of TB in France at Place Mayenne, Pays de la Loiire when my grandmother was just two years old. Sarah had been sent to France by her family to do everything they could to save her. The place that she went was suppose to be one of the best places for recovery but she did not make it.
Looking at the pictures does bring a great deal of sorrow that she must have felt at leaving her husband and young family and meeting her death in a strange and difficult place.

Brenda, from every bit of information I have, I believe this is it...The white car you see belongs to the guard who asked us to leave. The name was changed in 1975 to Medical Center of La Fontaine-au-Bac, but the old sign is still there. You can look it up using Le Claviere Villiers-Charlemagne. All of this is located in the district of Mayenne Pays de Loire. Please forward to Gene Harris and anyone else who might be interested. I have a friend who is willing to write a couple of letters in French to the "town halls" of the area.
Baldwin County is only one county over from us. (abt. 40 MILES.) bONNIE

According to Sarah Smith Rowell Johnson (wife of Turner Collier Johnson who was the son of Joseph Franklin Johnson and Edmonia Salome Collier).....

Sarah E. Baird Harrison (wife of William Franklin Harrison) who died of TB on January 22, 1888 (the date of her oldest daughter's birthday, Lottie, who had turned 12 years old that day and also leaving my grandmother Nellie who was 16 months old, her other children Joshua, Herbert, Myrtie, and Clarah)

"is buried in Prince George County near Newville."

This could possibly place her at the Kirkham or Simmons Cemetery.

The Coleman Simmons Cemetery is 1.7 miles northwest of Disputanta on 460 then about 100 yards north of 460 in Prince George County.

The Kirkham Cemetery is described to be 1.2 miles north of Disputanta, Virginia, on route 618; thence .8 mile northwest on Route 629; thence .1 mile south of route 629, Prince George County, Virginia.

The Kirkham Cemetery contains the remains of Joshua Simmons and his daughter, Ann Simmons Harrison and her husband, William Thomas Harrison who are the great grandparents and grandparents of William Franklin Harrison, Sarah E. Baird Harrison's husband.

The Kirkham Cemetery also contains the remains of Joshua Simmons' daughter, Martha Simmons Stainback and her husband, Peter Stainback, and their son, Adolphus "Doll" and daughter Martha Stainback Kirkham.

Susanna Harrison Figg is the sister of Joshua Simmons Harrison who is William Franklin Harrison's father and Sarah E. Baird Harrison's (b. January 27, 1854 - d. January 22, 1888) father-in-law. Susanna is Sarah's aunt in law.

It would make perfect sense for Sarah E. Baird Harrison to be buried there at the Kirkham Cemetery.

Perhaps the new Prince George Cemetery Project and Clarah's grand daughter can help us out. Thanks so much!

Sarah married HARRISON William Franklin on 9 Feb 1875. William (son of HARRISON Joshua Simmons and ELLIS Ann Rebecca) was born on 9 Feb 1853 in Prince George County, VA; died on 17 Jan 1907; was buried in Dendron, Surry, Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Note from Doris Jean: When I was at the Snow Hill Cemetery in June, 1973 I recorded information from the only 3 tombstones there at that time. One was for Annie L. Booth, B. 1-1-1872 D. 7-20-1885 and engraved "Our darling hath gone before, To greet us on the blissful shore". The other two stones were for her parents, Binns Beverly Booth and Eliza Bingham Baird Booth.

Lived with Sally Baird (called Aunt Sally by Mary V. Howard), in Waverly.
Lived near the Waverly Christian Church.

(Medical):Diphtheria per the resolution by Carsley Church.
In the 1920s there were an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 cases of diphtheria per year in the United States, causing 13,000 to 15,000 deaths per year.[3] Children represented a large majority of these cases and fatalities. One of the first effective treatments for diphtheria was discovered in the 1880s by U.S. physician Joseph O'Dwyer (1841-1898). O'Dwyer developed tubes that were inserted into the throat, and prevented victims from suffocating due to the membrane sheath that grows over and obstructs airways. In the 1890s, the German physician Emil von Behring developed an antitoxin that did not kill the bacterium, but neutralized the toxic poisons that the bacterium releases into the body.
Unfortunately the treatment to save a life never made it to Surry County doctors in time to save 13 yoa Annie Laurie. 5 years after her death an antitoxin was developed, and later refined and later given to all school children throughout the United States ... Gene Harris

Notes:

Sam Pete was a cripple and slept in feather bed in Snow Hill Plantation in the corner bedroom on the 1st floor. Last Booth to live in Snow Hill Plantation. His bedroom was in the rear 'T' addition on the back that is now gone. Hettie is buried in the old section of Waverly Cemetary. He lived at Snow Hill all his life.

He had the first rubber tired buggy ever seen in Surry County.

Courted Hettie Lee Rogers * (1874-1964) for 25+ years but never married. She bought 3 trousseaus. She was a graduate of the Southern Female College in Petersburg along with Ora Sue Baird. Sam Pete used to cut across the field carrying a lantern going to Hettie Rogers house which was was at Laurel Rd and Rt. 40. She was quite well off and had a large plantation house. Quote: in 1935 when the town of Waverly put in a sewer sytem, she refused to connect as she had no inside bath. Pat O'gery the town supervisor (he stuttered) told her it was the law and he could force her to. She told him "You can make me put one in, but you can't make me use it". She had electric lights and used lanterns.

Sam Pete was quite a drinker...per Kenneth Coker.

From Doris Jean Goodrich Johnson: I do recall Tilly (Edith (Tilly) Louise Goodrich Westbrook) saying that Mama used to prepare food for Sam Pete and Tillie would deliver it to him while Mama watched her as she crossed the field going to and coming from the delivery.
