Bard - Minnie - 1901
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 20 September 1901
Minnie Bard, daughter of Samuel and Mary Bard, died Saturday morning at 7:20, Sept. 7, 1901, at the home of her sister, Mrs. John V. Keeran. She was born in Canton, Ohio, and moved with her parents to Indiana, and in later years moved to Crawfordsville, where she spent the remainder of her life.
She united with the church in childhood and always lived a Christian life. Sincere of purpose, unselfish in her thoughts and actions, sacrificing self in her deeds of charity and love, patient in all the sickness and trials that came to her, enduring all in the spirit that only God’s children can. In such a life there is an abundant assurance. Her death was but a passing. God beckoned and she answered.
Father, mother, two sisters and two brothers preceded her to the better land. Five sisters are left to mourn her, three of them being present to minister to her comfort in her last and most trying hours. -s
