Update to Mother's Legacy Lives On

I've updated the post, Mother's Legacy Lives On with scans of the original newspaper article which includes photographs of Ninnie Baird, a painting of what is said to be the Hemphill Street home, and a photo of the "first stove". This article states that "Mrs. Baird moved the family and the back yard bakery operation to a rent house on Washington, at the corner of Cactus (now called Jefferson)."

We are particularly interested in the photo of the "first stove" from this article. The University of Texas at Arlington says they don't have an original negative of this photograph in their archives, and I haven't found the location of this first stove. Presumably, the photo was taken in 1977 when the article was written and that stove probably still exists somewhere.

Follow the link to the original post to view all of the scans and images.
