(Cumberland) Evening Times Dec. 5, 1906
BARNARD, John H. ~ John H., son of Otho and Martha A. Barnard, died January 12, 1901, at his home near Chestnut Grove, of an abscess resulting from typhoid fever, which he contracted in July. The deceased was in his 22nd year, and just budded into manhood.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Howard, of Bloomington, to one of the largest concourse of friends and relatives ever seen on a like occasion. The community has met with such a loss that it cannot soon recover, as John was one of the very best young men. He was a living example - sober, quiet and industrious at all times. About ten days before his death, when the abscess opened, he told his mother, who was waiting on him at the time, that he was ready to die and requested that his sister, who was absent, meet him in heaven.
We would say to the parents, brothers and sisters, weep not as those who have no hope.
Dearest Johnny, thou hath left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel:
But 'tis God who hath bereft us
He will all your sorrows heal.
Wherefore should we make our moan
Now your darling boy is dead;
He to early rest is gone;
He to Paradise is fled.
You can go to him but he
Never can return to thee. B.H.

The deceased was a prominent and active Democrat, but never held any office. He had very many warm friends and the announcement of his sudden death caused much sorrow.

BARRON, Robert G.
A 26-year-old Somerset, Pa., father was killed instantly early this morning when his tractortrailer crashed into the rear of another truck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike three miles west of Carlisle. Victim of the tragedy was Robert G. Barron, 26, of 1030 West Liberty Street, Somerset. Pennsylvania Turnpike Police at Bedford said Barron was killed instantly when his tractor-trailer smashed into the rear of another truck driven by Jack D. Callahan, 25, of New Castle, Pa. Police said Barron was hauling a load of sheetmetal, and the load shifted, crushing him in the cab of the rig. He sustained a broken neck and crushed chest. Police said Barron was apparently traveling at a high rate of speed in rain and fog, but that visibility was good. Both vehicles were traveling east, and after the crash Callahan was able to control his truck and pull to the side of the highway. He assisted police in removing Barron's body from the rig. A native of Somerset County, he was a son of Leroy and Cora (Shaulis) Barron, of Somerset. Besides his parents, he is survived by his widow and two minor children.
