Bard

At his home near Pleasant Ridge Tuesday, June 2, 1925, Mr. John Bard, 
one of the most widely known and respected men, passed from earth to 
eternity, the result of a paralytic stroke, Sunday.

Mr. Bard was born November 19, 1845, hence was aged 79 year, 6 months 
and 14 day.  His wife, who was Miss Phoebe Mellott, died January 10, 1904.

He leaves to mourn the sad loss of a loved and loving Christian father, 
seven children, sons are: Erastus, Pleasant Ridge; Webster, Johnstown and 
Virgil on the home place, with whom his father resided.  Daughters are: Louise, 
Mrs. James McIlnay, Yellow Creek, Bedford County; Laura, Mrs. Harry McIlnay, 
Yellow Creek;  Stella, Mrs. C. E. Coleman, Columbus, Ohio; and Ida married and 
living in Australia.  Twenty-five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren 
also survive him.

The bereaved have the sympathy of all in this sad hour.

He united with the Pleasant Ridge Brethren Church over fifty years ago 
and was on of its most valued members, having served as deacon of many years.  
His was one of the most lovable characters and life.  He will be greatly missed.

Funeral Thursday 10 a.m. at Pleasant Ridge Brethren Church by Rev. J.C. 
Garland, Rev. John Mellott and Rev. C. S. Funk.  Internment in adjoining 
cemetery.  He now rests safely on the Shining Shore, reunited with the love and 
partner of his early youth and life, to wait for the other loved ones.

Farewell, farewell, father dear,
     Of earth no more a part,
But Oh, we sadly sorrow here,
      And miss thy faithful heart.
