The Warren Tribune, Friday, August 26, 1904
John Beard.
John Beard, son of George M. and Rhodana Beard was born in Gettysburg, Ohio, January 30,
1827, died August 16, 1904, aged 77 years, 6 months and 16 days.
He came with his parents to Huntington county when he was eleven years old. They were
guided to their destination by Fleming Mitchell and many were the hardships they endured
in coming to their new home. In this section Mr. Beard grew to manhood. He was married
to Rebecca Ruble November 13, 1861. To this union were born ten children of whom two have
gone to the better land. There are twenty-seven grand-children and three great-grand
children.
By the death of his wife six years ago his home was broken up and he has since made his
home with his children. His death occurred at the home of his son, Thomas, at Dillman
where he had gone previous to his last illness which was of two years' duration.
Mr. Beard's life was one that was upright and commendable. Many years ago he united
with a Disciples' church but the class was afterwards disbanded and he never united
with any other.
The funeral services were conducted at Dillman Thursday forenoon by Rev. J.E. Etter. The
burial was at Woodlawn cemetery.
