"On the twelfth of September 1872, just fifty years after the marriage of grandfather David Baird and grandmother Jane Clegg, a double wedding was solemnized at the Baird home. Elizabeth became the bride of Robert M. Moore, and Euphemia married W. W. Orr, Jr. It was a beautiful September day, and the ceremony was performed about noon by Rev. Osburn of the A. P. Church assisted by Rev. Story of the U. P. Church. The bride's dresses were of gray worsted material, similar to alpaca or mohair, and made with plain waists and overskirts. Their hair was elaborately dressed with little curls, made from switches tied on with bows of ribbon.
Dinner was served to fifty or more. In the center of the table was a wedding cake of several graduated tiers, or layers. Little candy hearts were arranged on the icing, and fine colored candy sprinkled over all. At each end of the table was a plate on which was arranged three molds of rice, each mold being decorated with three cloves. They had no screen doors, and while the waiters were serving the dessert, a dog got into the kitchen and made away with what was left of the chicken.
Receptions for the newlyweds were held the next day; John Baird attending the Orr reception, and Mary Baird went to the Moore's." Source: Baird Family Records
