Several years ago he became seriously ill with diabetes and a leg was amputated in order to save his life. Since that time he had been in poor health, although he had not been confined to his bed until the last few weeks.
Mr. Aird is survived by a large number of relatives. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.W. Wilk, pastor of the Lutheran Church and burial was made in the Amherst Cemetery.
