Abe en swiney Baird (hebben ze echt bestaan?)

[Halfpint]

.:Abe Baird:.
Abe first appeared in 'Little Farm in the Ozarks' when his brother tried to steal the Wilders' eggs for food. As the series progresses, Abe, Effie, and Swiney lives in the Wilder farmhouse while the Wilders live in town. The last we hear of the Bairds is in "New Dawn on Rocky Ridge" when they loose their third child. (NOTE: the Bairds are fictional characters that Mr. MacBride created for the story. Some accounts say that Abe is based on a boy who Rose knew in adulthood. There is also an Abe Baird in one of Rose books.

.: Nate Baird :.
Nate or Swiney is what Rose is used to calling him. Swiney first appeard in 'Little Farm in the Ozarks' when he was caught by Almanzo trying to steal Mama Bess' eggs. In 'New Dawn on Rocky Ridge' we start to see Nate developing a crush on Rose but she tells him she loves him as a brother not the other kind of love.

.: Effie Baird (formerly Stubbins) :.
Effie is the wife of Abe and the older sister or Rose's good friend, Alva Stubbins who lives in a large family next to the Wilder farm. She is the mother of James and Elza, the twin babies.
