"Rev. Nathaniel Bard, was a resident of Lisbon about forty years. When about 20 years of age he became a Christian, was baptized by Rev. Charles Bean, and united with the Second church of Lisbon. He was licensed by the Bowdoin Quarterly Meeting (QM) in 1840, and at the end of that year, was ordained.
He preached in Webster, Wales, Oak Hill, Litchfield two years, Litchfield Plains two yrs. Durham 8 yrs., Richmond Corner several yrs. North Freport three different times, eight yrs in all; and lastly at Monmout, where an attack of paralysis diabled him and finally terminated his life.
Quite a number were aded to the Litchfield churches: many were converted at Durham, and a house of worship was built. At Freeport he had frequent conversions and forty were baptized in one year. Two small churches in Bowdoinham were united by him; the Lisbon Falls church was organized mostly by his labors.
What he may have lacked in early educational mental culture was largely made up for by prayerful study of the Bible, and general reading. He was a man of superior judgment, and a sound gospel preacher. He occupied a prominent place in his Quarterly Meeting, and achieved that distinction by faithful and persistent labor. He was also esteemed for his integrity, kindness and hospitality."
