Baird, or, "Bert" as he was more fam- iliarly known to his large circle of friends, will be regretted by many in Port Perry who well re- member his strong personality and his frank and affable man- ner. Mr. Baird came-to the Port Perry Branch of the Western Bank from the Paisley branch in 1893, when the late William Me- Gill: was -manager, and soon be- came one of the leading spirits of the town. He rémained here for about ten years and was then moved to the Head Office of the bank:at Oshawa----A banquet at the Sebert House was given him on leaving here at which he was presented with a gold watch. He was later promoted to the mangership of the Whitby Branch, When the Western Bank was absorbed by the Standard, Mr.-Baird left the service and joined the Royal Bank to open a new branch for that Bank in Oshawa. His subsequent career is recorded in the above clipping. Mr. Baird's people came from the north end of Reach and are relatives of the - well-known Baird family of that township.
