Miss Celestia Barnard
Miss Celestia Barnard was born on a farm on Bowe Hill in the town of Hartwick June 24, 1833, and peacefully entered into rest at her home in that village Monday, June 10th.

Sayer, Mrs. S.N. Saxton and Miss Julia B. Soule of Milford, and Mrs. Emeline Rounds of Mt. Vision. They have been unremitting in tender care of their relative in her feebleness and infirmity. The funeral was held from her late home Wednesday, at 2 p.m., her pastor, the Rev. N.B. Ripley, officiating. Interment was made beside her kindered in Milford Cemetery.
