Grafton - Died in Eaton, August 22,1885, Mr. Wm. Barchard, aged 80 years. The deceased was one of the early pioneers of Lorain County. He was born in Thorne, Yorkshire, England, in 1805. He landed in this country in 1829, since which time he has lived in the vicinity of Grafton. Eaton was then, as was the larger portion of Lorain and surrounding counties, an unbroken forest.
Here in the wilderness Mr. Barchard located and here he lived for fifty-six years, sharing the hardships and privations of pioneer life, accumulating by faithful and honest toil and his keen financial abilities a pleasant home of plenty, as a reward of industry. In 1830 he married Miss Recta Lyndes, who shared with him the more prosperous results as well as trials and privations of pioneer life until the winter of 1866, when he was called to mourn her loss. Six sons and six daughters were born of this marriage, all of whom, except the second son who died in 1864 survive him. The deceased was a man of honest and upright integrity, a kind and sympathetic husband and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.
The funeral rites were solemnized at the residence August 24th, by Rev. M.W. Reece, after which his remains were placed in the Eaton vault for future interment. The relatives of the deceased return thanks to the many friends and neighbors for the kind assistance rendered at the funeral services.
