B. Tupper, 118 Liberty street. The party consisted of Mrs. Barnard's eight children and their families. The children are Mrs. James Elwell, Mrs. C. F. Keith, Mrs. E. B. Tupper and John, Henry, Jay and Edward Barnard, of Rome and Mrs. J. L. Keith, of Rockford, Ill. Nearly thirty persons were present. A happy social time was enjoyed by all present, and full justice was done a sumptuous repast. Mrs. Barnard has lived in Rome and Lee, all her life. She is in the enjoyment of excellent health and is far more active than many ladies who are much younger. Her hands always find something to do, and she has recently pieced bed-quilts for all of her children. Hers hasbeen a busy and useful life, and in her old age her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband died in 1877 [sic]. She never lost a child. Mrs. Barnard has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, all all tender to her their kindest wishes." (Newspaper article without date and source, mailed by Rita C. Bailey to WMB, received 8 May 2003) "MRS. JOHN BARNARD Death of an Old and Esteemed Resident of Rome and Lee. "Mrs. Mary Smith Barnard, widow of John Barnard and an old and well known resident of Lee and Rome, died at her home, No. 417 West Liberty street, at 12:10 o'clock Wednesday night, in the 89th year of her age. She did not appear to have any disease, but suffered a general breaking down of the system, due to her old age. She had been ailing all winter, but was confined to her bed less than four weeks. Up to almost the last the family did not expect a fatal termination, but thought she would rally again. The end came peacefully and she passed away very quietly and without a struggle. "Mary Smith Barnard was a daughter of Levi Smith, and was born in the town of Lee on December 10, 1808. She was married on October 4, 1830, and lived on the State road, town ofLee, until 1867, when she moved to Rome and passed the remainder of her days in the house where she died. Her husband passed away on October 6, 1865. She was the mother of eight children seven of whom survive, as follows: Mrs. James Elwell, John Barnard, Henry Barnard, Mrs. Charles Keith, Jay Barnard, Edward Barnard and Mrs. Etta Keith, widow of James L. Keith, all of whom live in Rome. The other daughter, Mrs. E. B. Tupper, died Feb. 5, 1887. "Mrs. Barnard came of a long-lived family. Her father lived to a great age, and her only surviving sister, Mrs. A. I. Storey of Summit, Wis., died on Feb. 7, 1896, aged 92 years. She had a wide circle of acquaintances and was greatly beloved by all who knew her. She retained the use of faculties up to the very last in spite of her age. Her memory was good and some years ago she recovered her second eyesight and could read without spectacles. She had a very cheerful temperament and was a kind and warm-hearted neighbor. Few persons were more generally esteemed. Her cheerful and sunny disposition made her a welcome visitor wherever she went. Although she lived to a good old age she did not grow old in spirit, but was always interested in the young people and their plans. She had a word of good cheer for every one. Mrs. Barnard was of very sympathetic nature and in the sick room was particularly helpful. "Every year a family reunion was held on Thanksgiving day and the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that gathered on those occasions made up a company that numbered from 32 to 35 persons, to all of whom her death will come as a personal loss." 1880 federal census, 4th Ward, Rome, Oneida, New York, Source: FHL Film 1254903 National Archives Film T9-0903, Page 104B, per FamilySearch 1880 United States Census and National Index Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Mary BARNARD Self F W W 68 NY Occ: Keeping House Fa: CT Mo: CT Moriah BARNARD Dau F S W 34 NY Occ: Clerk In Store Fa: NY Mo: NY MaryetteBARNARD Dau F S W 32 NY Occ: Clerk In Store Fa: NY Mo: NY
