tested by the large mercantile firm of

retail stores, exclusive of some in the
large cities, and The Bank of Hardins
burg & Trust Company, of which he
was the founder and president from its
inception in 1890 to his death, and
which is one of the strong financial
banks of the State. Indeed, the large
cities alone afford larger business en-
yerprises than he funded and success
kully conducted.
As a tobacconist he was one of the
extensive handlers of that product of
the entire State, but for the last several
years he has devoted himself excu-
sively to his banking business, and his
son, M. d. Beard. has successfully
maintained and enlarged the mercan-
tile business Every business enter
prise he tathered has been uniformly
successful because always conducted
along lines of sound, conservative bust
ness principles.
As citizen, business man, father of
a family, member of his chosen church,
his life was exemplary. Absolutely
honest, kind, courteous, considerable to
all he was esteemed bv all.

of age, because he was left dependent
upon the death of his parents. He
served his appre nticeship and in 1S47
went to California along with the tide
of emigrants drawn to the newly dis
covered gold fields. In 1860 he returned
home on visit, as he thought. While
here Margaret Hensley, daughter of
Morris Hensley, to whom he had heen
apprenticed, won his affections, and he
married her and Immediately embarked
upon his business career at Hardins-
burg, and ever afterwards resided there
