1880 United States Federal Census: Freeport, Stephenson, County, Illinois (Page 85A) - Christina Schwarz (10 Illinois, at school).

"She married the preacher Dr. Andreas Bard and they had one child, a daughter. Tina and Andreas eventually moved to Kansas City, Missouri where he preached in a huge, St. Mark's Lutheran Church. Andreas was quite a writer. He wrote poetry, an opera and speeches for the Governor. His writings were published. They had a summer home in Olympia out in the bay. He called it "Bardheim" I remember them coming to Olympia. They drove us one day in a shiny black convertible with red leather upholstery. They took us for a ride. I was told that when Sinclair Lewis was formulating the character for the novel "Elmer Gantry", he interviewed "Bard", as he was called."
