"In 1900, Emmet and Mary Baird bought the house that would later be known as the Baird Mansion and settled down to raise their large family. The 1900 Gainesville census records the family as Emmet (head), Mary A. (wife), Ervine (son), Calvin (son), Edith B. (daughter), Laura (daughter), Lena (daughter), Mary (daughter) and Hattie (daughter, photo left). The Baird children were all well educated and attended local schools, including Gainesville High School, to which Hattie Baird was part of the yearbook staff (The Alachuan 1913) and East Florida Seminary (pre University of Florida). The Baird daughters received good secondary school education, which was rare for girls at the time. The oldest Baird daughter, Edith, graduated from the East Florida Seminary (EFS document). Laura received a degree from the Boston Conservatory of Music. Lena (seated second from right in 1908 Senior Class photo) and Hattie (photo left) both attended the Florida Female College in Tallahassee. Mary attended the East Florida Seminary and the Curry School of Expression in Boston.8 One son, Emmet died young, and another son, Ira, also attended East Florida Seminary."
