Obituary from Wayne County Press, 3/17/1938:
"Weaver H. Barnard"
"Weaver H., son of John and Elizabeth Barnard, was born in Ohio County, Kentucky, December 29 1851; died March 7, 1938; age 86 years, 2 months and 7 days. He came to Illinois in 1876, where he was married to Alice Ann Daisy in June 1890; eight children were born to this union, three of whom died in infancy.
"At an early age he professed his faith in Christ and united with the M.E. Church at Bailey, where he has always been a faithful and devoted member. He was a kind and indulgent parent, an affectionate companion, a good neighbor and a true friend. He was pleasant in his manner and made friends with all who know him. His companion preceded him in death, March 8, 1934. Since that time he has made his home with his children and he passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fannie Reed, who with her husband had tenderly cared for him during his last illness.
"He is survived by two sons, Henry of Chenoa and Earl of Sims; three daughters, Irene Lamb of Palestine and Fanny Reed and Gertie Jones of near Fairfield; two brothers, John and Eli Barnard both of near Sims; thirteen grandchildren, one great-grandson, many other relatives and a host of friends who will mourn his passing.
Funeral services were conducted from the Bailey Church, Wednesday morning, by Rev. John Rush, assisted by Rev. H.C. Mendenhall. Interment was in the Bailey cemetery."
