BEARD, George Sylvanus
[Husband of Caroline nee NEFF] 
21 Apr 1846 to 16 Feb 1918
71y 9m 25d
NEW BUFFALO - Feb. 20 - G. Sylvanus Beard, one of the best known farmers and 
stock dealers in the county, died last Saturday [16 Feb 1918] night at his 
home a short distance southeast of here. He had been ailing for a number of 
years but the immediate cause of death was gangrene in one of his arms. 
Deceased was a son of Jacob and Sophia Beard, early settlers of this section, 
and was born April 21, 1846, nearly 73 years ago, on the farm just across the 
road from his farm. Nearly his entire life was spent in this community. His 
father died when he was 12 years of age and with his mother was left with the 
management of a big farm and a large family of children. He was equal to the 
task and successfully carried it through. Now his labors are ended; may he 
rest in peace. On Sept. 27, 1868, he was married to Miss Caroline Neff of 
Canfield who survives him with two sons, Burton Beard at home and Alexander 
Beard of Youngstown. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary A. Hendricks of this 
place, and two brothers, Monroe and Cyrus Beard, of Youngstown. Funeral 
services Tuesday forenoon [19 Feb 1918] were held from the Evangelical 
Lutheran church, of which the deceased was long a member, were largely 
attended. The remains were placed in the mausoleum in the Canfield Cemetery.
