Mrs. Mary Lovina Peck Price, wife of the late William R. Price, died Sunday, April 19, 1931, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T.A. Horton, 531 Meriden Road, Waterbury, Conn. Mrs. Price was born in Brookfield, Conn., in 1850, the daughter of Mary Everett Carter and James Anthony Peck. She was a resident of Brewster, N.Y. [Putnam Co.] for seventy-one years and was well liked by all who knew her. She was a woman of fine character and a devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Price was greatly interested in music and gave expression to her love for it in singing. For forty years she was a member of the Methodist church choir. She was also a member of Enoch Crosby Chapter, D.A.R. The members of her family who survive are two daughters Mrs. Mary Frances Horton, wife of T.A. Horton, of Waterbury, Conn., and Mrs. Susie P. Wheeler, wife of H.P. Wheeler, of Brewster, N.Y., and one son, Frederick R. Price, of West Orange, N.Y., also seven grandchildren and one great grandson. Prayers were said at the Alderson Funeral home, 70 Central Avenue, Waterbury, Conn., on Tuesday evening, on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Brewster, the Rev.

Mrs. Harriet E. Boalt Lines, widow of the late Willis Howard Lines, a respected and beloved resident of Otego [Otsego Co., NY], died Saturday at her home, following a few days' illness from influenza. Harriet E. Boalt was born at Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], June 18, 1844, the daughter of the late Frank and Hulda Lyon Boalt. The surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. Ralph G. Waite, of Otego; two nieces, Mrs. Lee Armstrong, of Pittsfield, Mass., and Mrs. Charles Smith, of Binghamton and two nephews, Frank Fletcher of Jamestown and William Fletcher of Bainbridge--Sidney Record [Feb. 1929]
Henry M. Bard, 86 years old, dean of Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY] insurance agents and one of the best known men in cooperative insurance ventures in New York state, died at 8:26 o'clock last evening at his home, 58 Center street, due to infirmities of age. He had been able to continue his active business duties until about nine weeks ago when his state of health required that he remain in bed, and his condition had been considered critical throughout much of that period. Funeral services will be held from his residence Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. George H. Phillips of the First Methodist Episcopal church. The Masonic service will also be read. Interment will be made in the family plot of Glenwood cemetery. Henry M. Bard was born May 26, 1845, at Mexico, Oswego county, the son of James C. and Sutina (Cone) Bard, and spent his young manhood there after graduating from district school and Mexico academy. He engaged in the stationery business there, but his physique was not strong and he was forced to sell the store. However, by systematic habits of health and a close adherence to physician's rules, he was able to regain strength which with careful habits of life carried him to his advanced years, being the last to survive of a family of eight children. Mr. Bard came to Oneonta in October of 1888 and was for several years a member of the firm of Bard and Griffith which conducted a boot and shoe business in the location now occupied by Scott & Son at 184 Main street. In 1893 he engaged in the insurance business, opening his office in practically the same location as is at present occupied by the agency of which he had so long been the head at 8 Broad street. The agency became H.M. Bard and Son 21 years ago when Harry C. Bard entered the firm, and four years ago with the admission of Tracy S. Bard the firm became H.M. Bard & Sons. One of the companies in that office has been represented continuously since 1896 and Mr. Bard has always been a leader in cooperative insurance circles in the state, having assisted in the organization of several companies of that type. In recognition of his record, Mr. Bard was accorded the honor of purchasing the first stock issued by the General Schuyler Fire Insurance company when it was organized a short time ago at Albany, as well as of issuing the first policy of that company. While Mr. Bard had always taken his keenest interest in his home and business, preferring to carry on his work rather than to take vacations, he had for many years been a member of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal church and a devoted member of that congregation. He was also considered probably the oldest member of the Masonic fraternity in Oneonta, having joined that organization when 25 years of age. Mr. Bard was also for many years clerk of Oneonta township, and was the last to serve the former township which included the section now the city of Oneonta as well as the present town. He was also an Oneonta assessor and for an extended period served as treasurer of the Oneonta Union Agricultural society. In his private life Mr. Bard was a quiet unassuming man who held steadfastly to the highest principles and whose cheery neighborliness won him wide circles of friends; one who will be truly missed. Henry M. Bard and Stella M. Whitney were married at Mexico September 6, 1870, and Mrs. Bard lived until July of 1926. Surviving are four children, Mrs. H.W. Patton of Newton Highlands, Mass., Miss Ella N. Bard, who resided with her father, Harry C. Bard of 77 Elm street, and Tracy S. Bard of 60 Center street; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and four nephews and nieces, Mrs. James Tooley of Stamford, Mrs. Clayton Miller of Pulaski, and Miss Anna Bard and Curtis Baldwin of Mexico. To them the sincere sympathy of hosts of friends will be extended. [1931]
