DEATH OF JOHN BAYNAFD
The death of Mr.. John Baynard
on Thursday last removes from our
town one of its oldest inhabitants.
He was born in the lower part OF
this state October 26, 1896, and has
passed his whole life in Delaware
and the Eastern Shore. He mar
ried November IL, 1881, Miss Su-
san Hardcastle of the Staunch old
line of Hardcastles of Maryland,
and together they Travelled the
pathway Of existence Of fifty-one
years. In the year 1885 he was
converted and joined the Methodist
Church near his native place and
ever since has been a faithful orth-
odox christian. The Bible was
prominently his book, and few
men are so familiar with it's text
as he became by his long and care
full reading. A man Of firm faith,
his hope and his treasure were be-
yond, and in the last few years he
had become weary of the strife and
tumult of the world strongly desir-
ing to enter into the higher life, to
see no more through a glass, dark
ly, but face to face. He has lived
in Smyrna and vicinity for the past
twenty years, his occupation in life
being principally farming. In his
last illness his sufferings were Sc
we're, but he bore them with resig-
nation, and departed very peace
fully. His body was affectionately
borne to it's resting place by his
five sons and one grandson. His
widow is comparative hale for her
years and with her hearty and joy
Gus disposition is the center of a
large circle of relatives and friends.
