Stephen G. Barnard was born in Mexico, Oxford Co. Maine, on July 23, 1836. He left home at the age of 18, and became an apprentice in a printing office in the city of Portland. Two years latter(sic) he went to Boston, where he entered a business college completing a full course, after which he was employed as a bookkeeper for sometime.

In 1858 he came west and located in Osego(sic), Wright Co., Minn., where he taught school and farmed until 1862, when he came to his present home, which was originally a government claim. He lived on this place for the remainder of his life, with the exception of two years.

At the time of the Indian outbreak in 1862, he took his family to Anoka, until the Indians were overcome and returned to their reservations.

In 1860 her was united in marriage with his cousin, Miss Sarah Jane Barnard, who died in 1901. Three children were born to them, all of whom are still living, namely Mrs. Jennie M. Rice, and Mrs. Myra E. parker, both of Sauk Centre, and Mr. J. G, Barnard of Minneapolis, in the government service. Of Mr. Barnards immediate relatives, only one sister survives him, Mrs. E. Richards, who with her daughter arrived from Maine last week.

About six years ago Mr. Barnard became afflicted with facial cancer, which by Xray treatment seemed at first to be healing perfectly; only later to break out with greater virulence. Everything known to medical science was employed but without success, so that the disease progressed slowly to its fatl termination. Through it all Mr. Barnard bore his suffering with heroic fortitude, and the end came peacefully on Sunday night last, with all his dear ones about his bedside.

Mr. Barnard united with the Congregational church in 1890, all his family previously becoming members. As a man he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. His uprightness and sincerity were unquestioned, his industry was untiring, and in spite of a life-long lameness, he was more than comkmonly successful as a farmer. He kept his mind well informed and was interested in all good movements in church and state.

The funeral was held from the Congregational church at 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon and the remains were laid to rest besides those of his wife in the G. A. R. cemetery. He rests from his labors but his works do follow him.
