Death Of Mr.. John Link Board

At his residence near Parnassus. Mr.
John Link Beard died. aged 81 years,
months and IS days. He had been in dell
cate health for more the four years, and
though great sufferer he bore all with
Christian submission. He was born or
Naked Greek in this county, near old Salem
church. on November 9th, 1910, and died
May 10th, 1898. His father, Peter Beard
emigrated to Indiana with his family, con.
sisting of one son and seven daughters, over
so years ago. leaving only the subject OF
this sketch in this State.
Mr.. Beard married Miss Martha NJ.
Shields, sister of Col. j. e. Shields of Rock
bridge county. The wedding took place in
Lexington in the old Sloan Tavern. Eigh-
| teen years of his life were spent in Middle
brook.
He was cabinetmaker by trade and his
work was noted for its excellency and du-
rability. He was known as an honest, up
| right, Christian gentleman. He had been
member of the Methodist church since
the year Of 1886, and his home was always
| open to preachers of the Gospel of all de-
nominations. He loved children and Or
gained Sunday Schools wherever he could
Hewas superintendent of Sabbath Schools
for more than thirty years.
All that loving hands could do was done,
but of no avail. His neighbors were kind
| in their ministrations in his last painful
months of suffering, and untiring in their
efforts to do all they could for his relief.
He was preceded to the grave by his son
Lieut.. John 7. s. Beard, volunteer in the
late war, who died at Camp Lee near Rich
mond, Va, 1868, and by his son Samuel O.
Beard who died Nov. 15.s 1871, and by his
wife, Martha M. Shields Beard. who died
Dec. Goth, 1 1888, also by his son, j. Shields
Beard, who died Dec. 2nd, 1892, and by his
brother, VIM. and three sisters who lived in
Indiana.
His funeral was preached by Rev. q. S.
M. See. pastor Of Union church. assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Ringer of the Methodist church,
Many beautiful floral tributes were laid on
The casket by sympathizing friends.
The choir song Rock Of Ages, Jesus lover
of my soul, and How Firm Foundation,
which last was an especial favorite with the
deceased. The services were concluded at
the grave by the choir singing, 1.-The home
Of the SOUL" A hymn dearly loved by this
sainted servant of Christ. The precious
dust now rests in Union cemetery near the
side of his beloved wife and son Samuel
all awaiting blessed Immortality.
He leaves three sons and five daughters,
three grandchildren, and two great grand
children to mourn the loss of one of the most
affectionate Of parents. We would say,
precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints
All his children now living we're with
him to the end. except his son, VIM s.
Beard of Rockbridge, who could not visit
him, owing to ill. health, was soldier in

have good looks. Electric Bitters' is good
