" Spirit Enters Other World"--- Mrs. Rebecca Barnard passes to golden shore.--- Death came after two weeks illness--Funeral will be held, Monday afternoon from First Baptist Church--Exemplary Life. At the home of her son, Thomas Barnard, 307 West Third St. at 1:45 o'clock PM, Saturday, occurred the death of Mrs. Rebecca Barnard, wife of the late John Barnard, aged 76 years and 19 days, death coming after two weeks illness with typhoid-malaria fever. Mrs. Barnard had been ill since returning from a visit to relatives and the fair at St. Louis, and though the best of physicians, aided by tender nursing of loved ones, was always in attendance upon her, the disease refused to yield to treatment and at the hour noted she calmly sank to rest, the end coming peaceful, this mother in Israel passing away without fear of death, but in the spirit in which she uttered her last and favorite words, "I have fought a good fight; I have finished by course; I have kept my faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at the day." With the prayer of her pastor, Rev. Judson Kempton, fervidly uttered for her soul, this loving and devoted mother, surrounded by her loved ones, returned to the God who have her life, and rest eternal came as a crowing glory of a life well spent. Mrs. Rebecca Rupp Barnard was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in Bemont Co. that state on October 10, 1828. When 18 years of age, she became the bride of John Barnard, the young people being united in marriage at Zanesville, Ohio, on October 1, 1846. Eight years later, in 1854, when this country was in an undeveloped state, the family came to Iowa and to Muscatine, settling in Bloomington Twp. on the fine farm now owned and occupied by their son, Edward Barnard. This was the family home for many years, and here the husband and father, John Barnard, one of the most highly respected, residents of the county, passed away four years ago. Since his death, the mother had made her home in this city, for the past year at the home of her son, Thomas. During their residence here the family was always known as one of the first in the county. With her husband, Mrs. Barnard endured the inconveniences of pioneer times, but most of her life was spent in comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Barnard was known for her many good qualities. She early united with the First Baptist Church of this city, and was always one of its most consistent members. her home life was ideal. She was a very sunny and happy disposition, looking always on the bright side of life and not allowing the little vicissitudes to cause her much annoyance. Thus in her last years, she maintained that sweet temper and kind disposition that enabled her to be a devoted wife and mother and a loving admiring friend of children, of whose companionship she never tired. Kind, patient, always wanting to help another, charitable and generous to a fault, the memory of her countless acts of Christian prompting will always quicken the heart pulse of those who were the recipients of these things, or objects of these ministrations. She is gone, but not forgotten; the memory of her beautiful Christian character will forever serve as an example for those who knew and loved her. Those who are left to mourn the death of Mother Barnard; are the five sons, all of whom were present when the White Angel came to bear her away.
These sons are: William of Chester, Ill;
Thomas of this city;
Edward of Bloomington Twp.;
Albert of East St. Louis, and
J. Carl, of this city. One daughter, Lillie is deceased.
Many grandchildren also survive. Mrs. Barnard is also survived by five brothers and two sisters, these being George Rupp of Elliott, Iowa; Mrs. Remembrance Morford of Seattle, Wash.; David and Nathan Rupp of Pottawattomie Co. Iowa; Mrs. Sydney Smith of Elliott, Iowa, and John and Charles Rupp of Washington, Iowa. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Baptist Church; Rev. Kempton conducting the service.
