Probably Livingston County newspaper, Oct. 1898
William Barnard was stricken with paralysis sometime on Friday afternoon of 
last week, near the wood pile in the rear of his residence and Mrs. Barnard 
being absent he was not discovered until about five o'clock.  He was then 
brought to the residence of his son-in-law, Ernest Krause, where every 
possible attention was given him and where his children gathered to do all 
that loving hearts could suggest for his comfort, but all human efforts were 
unavailing and passed peacefully away on Monday, surrounded by his loved 
ones.  Hew was born at Cohocton, Stuben county, N. Y., July 12, 1829, and came 
to Michigan in 1840, settling in the township of Genoa, in this county where 
he was married to Miss Eunice Reed.  The union proved to be a happy one and to 
them were born four children, two boys and two girls, Mrs. Fred Metcalf of 
Holland, Marshall Barnard of Detroit, and Edward Barnard and Mrs. Ernest 
Krause of this place, all of whom with his bereaved wife still survive him.  
In 1857 he removed with his wife to Conway where he remained until 1871 when 
they came to this township and settled just east of this village on the farm 
where they continued to reside until his death.  He was a tender husband, a 
kind father and leaves a large number of warm friends who will sincerely mourn 
his loss.
The funeral services were held at the M. E. church on Wednesday morning at 
10:00, the Rev. J. E. Ryerson officiating.
