WILLIAM BARDIN, deceased, the oldest son of the late James Bardin, was born in
Tippah county, Mississippi, January 31, 1843. In 1856 he came to California with
his father, when only thirteen years of age.

  William grew up on his father's farm, and was known as a young man of unusual
attainments in business matters. He was at his father's side in all his
enterprises, and early took an interest in local politics. By nature social and
genial he made a large number of friends, who greatly mourn his loss; epecially
was he mourned by the early settlers, who took such a pride in his brightness
and business instincts. Mr. Bardin was strictly a moral man in his habits and
disposition and became a successful farmer.

  March 29, 1871, he married Mrs. Mary A. Collins Stone, widow of Thomas H. C.
Stone, and daughter of General Benjamin Collins, a pioneer of Arkansas, and a
native of Georgia. Mrs. Bardin was born in Tippah county, June 16, 1848.

  February 9, 1891, occurred the lamented death of our subject, who left a
sorrowing widow and three children: Ada May, Oliver and John C.

  Mr. Bardin left his family well provided for, as his estate consists of
valuable lands in the Salinas valley, 664 acres in all, and 150 more in the
State of Washington. The memory of this gentleman will linger long after that of
many has faded from the minds of those who know them.
