LARGE FUNERAL ~ Last Sad Rites Paid to the Late John D. Barnard
The funeral of the late John D. Barnard took plce yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the M. E. Church at Moscow. Tev. Mr. Evans officiated, assisted by ministers from Keyser and Piedmont. The funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in Allegany county, people attending from all sections of the surrounding territory.

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.

Prominent Member of One of the Oldest and Most Highly Respected Families in Western Maryland-Death Came Suddenly
Mrs. S. Fuller Barnard died very suddenly at his home, North Mechanic street, last night at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Barnard had left his cigar store early in the evening and gone to his home. He seemed in excellent spirits and was chatting with his wife when he suddenly sank back in his chair unconscious and when Dr. W. W. Wiley, who was quickly summoned, reached the house, Mr. Barnard's spirit had fled.
The deceased was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families in Western Maryland. His father, Mr. Wm. R. Barnard, represented Garrett county in the General Assembly for several sessions and was a speaker of considerable ability and very popular in this section of Maryland.
The deceased was 51 years of age and is survived by his widow, who was Miss Bridget Barrett, of Mt. Savage, four daughters, his mother, two brothers, William and Ward, of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Philip Kahl(?) and Miss Barnard, of Cumberland. He was a cousin of Mr. Fuller Barnard, former sheriff of Allegany county.
Mr. Barnard was a locomotive engineer on the C. & P. until the G.C. &C. road was built, when he made master of engines for that road, which position he held until January 1, 1904. A few months ago he started a cigar and tobacco store on Baltimore street.
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.
The funeral will take place Monday morning with services at St. Patrick's church at 9 o'clock.
