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.

SUDDEN DEATH OF FULLER BARNARD ~ At His Home on North Mechanic Street Last Night. HAD NO WARNING IN THE END ~ Prominent Member of One of the Oldest and Most Highly Respected Families in Western Maryland-Death Came Suddenly

Mr. 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.

BARNES, Edgar Dale

A 16-year-old Fort Ashby area youth drowned in a pond on his father's farm yesterday afternoon in the Dennison Hollow section when he waded into water beyond his depth and disappeared under the surface. The victim, Edgar Dale Barnes, was unable to swim and had gone to the pond, with his sister, Anna Mae Barnes, a brother, Harley Lee Barnes, and a neighbor child, Patsy Grapes. After going under suddenly he reappeared and called for help, but the others in the group thought that he was pretending to be in trouble and did not go to his aid. When the youth did not surface after going under a second time, the Grapes child ran to notify her mother who hurried to the home of a neighbor, Ted Bennett, and she also notified the victim's father who was working a short distance from the Bennett home. The Fort Ashby Fire Company ambulance rushed to the scene with respirators and Wayne Linn, 15, of Fort Ashby, plunged into the pond and recovered the body. The respirators were used, but the boy could not be revived. Dr. J.D. Brown, of Romney, was called to the scene and pronounced the victim dead. The victim was born in Fort Ashby, October 29, 1942, and was a son of Edgar V. and Virgie (Keplinger) Barnes. He would have been in the junior class at Fort Ashby High School this fall, and was a member of the Future Farmers of America chapter of that school. Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Harley Lee and Daniel Webster Barnes, at home; three sisters, Mrs. Bertha Jane McCormick, Winchester, and Miss Adalou and Miss Anna Mae Barnes, both at home. The body is at the Scarpelli Funeral Home.
