Charles R. Barnard (d. 1968) — Judge, California Court of Appeal 4th District, 1929-31. Died in Fresno, Fresno County, Calif., 1968. Interment at Belmont Memorial Park.
Charles Robert Barnard, now presiding justice of the Fourth Appellate Court district of California, was born in Warrenville, Illinois, in 1881. He attended schools in Illinois, and, in 1904, secured his PHD at Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa.
Three years later, having completed his law course at the University of Iowa, he came to Fresno, where he began law practice as a member of the firm of Barnard & Watters. This connection continued until 1925, when he was appointed by Governor Friend W. Richardson to fill a vacancy on the superior court bench of Fresno county. He was elected to this office in November, 1926, for the unexpired term of his predecessor, and reelected in 1928 for a full six-year term.
In 1929 the state legislature created the Fourth Appellate Court district, running from Fresno to San Diego, with the exception of Los Angeles county. This court sits for four months each in Fresno, San Diego, and San Bernardino. Judge Barnard was appointed by Governor C. C. Young as the Fresno member of the court in September, 1929. In 1930 he was elected presiding justice.
Judge Barnard has taken an active part in public life in this county for many years. He was president of the Kiwanis club in 1922, has been president of the Fresno County Bar association, and for three years before going on the bench was president of the Fresno board of education. He belongs to Las Palmas Lodge, No. 366, F. and A. M., all of the Scottish Rite bodies, the Shrine, the Woodmen of the World, and is a member of the First Congregational church of Fresno.
Mrs. Barnard was Lillian Smith, a native of Iowa, and they have three children: Elizabeth, Robert, and Laura.
