One of Ord's Oldest Citizens Passes
One of Ord's eldest citizens, William H. Barnard, died in Sargent hospital on Aug. 21, and was buried in Ord Wednesday.
He was born on Nov. 7, 1865 and was close to 95 years of age at time of death.
For 28 years Barnard served as cemetery sexton at the Ord City cemetery, retiring in 1941. Born in Lovillia, Ia., Barnard came to Valley county in 1893 and settled on a homestead north of Fort Hartsuff.
He came to Ord with his 6 months old son, Glen and his wife in a covered wagon. In 1906 they moved to Smith Center, Kan., but a year later returned and farmed six miles southeast of Burwell. When the children became of school age they decided to move into Ord.
In 1913 Barnard started to work for the city park department. The following year he took over the cemetery.
His wife's father, Rev. J. P. Waldron, officiated at his wedding to Pearl Waldron at Sloan, Ia., on March 3, 1897. They have nine children: Glen Barnard, Seattle; Mrs. Loretta Covert, Mount Vernon, Wash.; Fay Barnard, Ord; Mrs. Grace Kiser, Lincoln; Mrs. Irene Puckett, Kansas City, Kan.; Mrs. Florence Weed, Peoria, Ill.; Earl Barnard, Jamestown, Calif.; Verne Barnard, Burwell, and Mrs. Wilma Morse, Denver.
Other survivors include 18 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
For the past year and a half Mr. and Mrs. Barnard had been living in the Tucker Nursing Home in Sargent.
He was a member of the Ord Christian church, where he had served in the capacity of deacon and elder for many years.
Funeral services were held at 2 pm Wednesday at the church with the Rev. Dale Scheffler in charge. Burial was in Ord City Cemetery.
Obituary from Kathy Burr #4722639
William and family came from Iowa to Nebraska by covered wagon and homesteaded a farm. Later, they moved into town and he became the caretaker of the Ord Cemetery for many years. They lived along the gully and he raised chickens.
