'DEATH'S CURTAIN DROPS ON CAREER NANCY BARNARD

"After a long and painful illness, Mrs. Nancy Barnard, whose home was four miles south-east of this city, passed to her eternal reward, June 9th. Her maiden name was Flora and represents one of the best families in Carroll County. At the age of 18, on November 1, 1860, she became the wife of John Clark, who died in February, 1879. By this marriage she was the mother of 9 children, five of whom remain to mourn their loss, viz: Drusilla Cripe, Amanda Harper, Ella McCormick, Emma Johnson and Wm. J. She was afterwards on Sept. 28, 1879, married to J. M. Barnard. This union was blessed with three children of which two daughters, May Witter and Roxie Wagoner remain. This interesting group of children were kindly affectionate toward each other and also their parents seemed to be of the same father and mother. Sister Barnard was fully prepared for the summons of the Lord, whom she served and will be greatly missed in the community, in the church and in the home. She was a consistent member of the Church of the Brethren for many years and died as she had lived, near her savior.

"She was born in Carroll county, May 7, 1842, and was therefore 68 years, 1 month and 2 days old when translated to heaven. Appropriate funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Elder A G Crosswhite, in the home and duplicated at the church in this city upon the request of the husband, who was critically ill and still remains in that condition. Interment in Moss cemetery."
