OBITUARY OF JOHN ALEXANDER BARD 'Old Soldier Passes Away'
"Last night at nine o'clock occurred the death of John A. Bard, aged eighty years, an ex-confederate soldier and pioneer citizen of this section, at the home of his son-in-law, H.W. Stephens, near Water Valley. Death came upon the old gentleman after several years failing on account of the infirmities of extreme old age and despite the shock of his demise, the family has held themselves in readiness for the end.
The death of John Bard marks the close of a long and useful life, fraught with the good a man may do on earth and there is hardly an elderly resident of this or Hickman County but who will feel a sincere regret at the passing of such a pioneer and esteemed citizen as the departed man. He was born in Hickman County in the year 1829 which was the decade following the close of the Great War with England and grew to manhood near the Fulton-Hickman County Lines. At the time of the war of the rebellion he was among the first to take up arms for the Confederacy and fought the gallant losing....surrender of Lee.
Following the close of the war he moved to Texas and resided in that state until several years ago when he moved back to old Kentucky. His wife does not survive him, having gone to her reward several years ago. In Texas are two brothers, Frank Bard and Will Bard and two sisters. In the city he has a number of relatives, among them his nephews Messrs. Dick Bard, Sam Bard and John Tom Bard. In the county near this city resides his son R.S. Bard and three daughters Mrs. H.B. Latta; Mrs. H.W. Stephens and Mrs. Bert Milner. Funeral service was held at Pleasant Hill Church north of Fulton, Rev. Fowlkes of Paducah holding the services."
