Obituary William H. Bolard Ashtabula Star-Beacon Oct. 25, 1940
W. H. Bolard succumbs at age of 80 (pic)
Death claimed a prominent Ashtabula resident Thursday night when William H.
Bolard, 80, succumed at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. A. Williams, South
Ridge East, following a heart attack.  Death occurred at 8 o'clock.
  Despite his advanced age, Mr. Bolard's death came unexpectedly.  He drove
his car downtown on Wednesday and was in his usual good health until
Thursday.
  A resident of the city  for more than 50 years, Mr. Bolard was widely
known, having spent the majority of his life in business.  In his early
years he was associated for 20 years with the Ashtabula Fork & Hoe Co., now
the American Fork & Hoe Co.
  Leaving the Fork & Hoe Co. he became associated with Fred Seymour in the
grocery business and later purchased a store of his own, which he operated
on W. Prospect Rd.
  For 14 years he was superintendent of the Ashtabula Bow & Socket., but due
to a nervous breakdown, he was forced to resign and seek activity that would
keep him in the open.  He turned to real estate and insurance, a business
which he operated successfully for many years with offices on Main av.  He
was still engaged in business at the time of his death, maintaining a desk
at the Charles A. Herzog Agency and acting as a soliciter for that company
and taking care of his real estate business.  A number of years ago he sold
his insurance business to the Hulbert Agency.  Later the Hulbert Agency was
taken over by Mr. Herzog.
