Death of George P. Barnard

Chenango American, Greene, NY, July 12, 1866

n Grand Rapids, Mich., suddenly, on the 27th ult., Mr. George P. Barnard, youngest son of Mrs. Charles E. Barnard, of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], in the 33d year of his age. [Chenango American, July 5, 1866]

Scarcely had the news become general in the city of the sudden and dangerous illness of our esteemed fellow citizen, Geo. P. Barnard, Esq., when the announcement of his death, which occurred last evening at 10 o'clock, came with its sombre mantle and shrouded as with a pall the hearts of the large circle of his warm and personal friends and acquaintances.  He had for some days been suffering from the effects of a severe cold yet had until Saturday last been in daily attendance at his store.  In the early part of the week his symptoms assumed the more dangerous form of inflammation of the liver and surrounding organism, and thence forward the progress of his disease was rapid, baffling the utmost skill of his physicians to its fatal termination last evening.

Mr. Barnard was, we believe, a native of Greene, Chenango Co., N.Y.  He came to this city about twelve years since, and soon after purchased the interest of W.B. Howe in the book trade, in which he has ever since continued, at the well-known stand corner of Canal and Pearl Sts.  As a businessman he had won and enjoyed, to an unusual degree, the confidence and hearty esteem of the entire community.  Strictly honorable and upright in his dealings, a man with whom honesty and integrity was natural and a ruling principle, he was steadily and deservedly successful and had built up for himself a remunerative business, free from embarrassments and promising a comfortable competency for his family in future years.  He was proverbially kind, affectionate in his family relations, and generous, to a fault.  If he had faults, and who has not?, they were not vicious ones, but such rather as grew from the warmth of his friendship, and from his genial and convivial spirit.  Wrong intentions were utterly foreign to his nature, and his native goodness of heart was so conspicuous as to win unconsciously the hearts of all his acquaintances.

He leaves a wife and three children on whom this stroke of sudden bereavement falls with a heavy hand.  The entire community, who so highly esteemed him, will heartily sympathize with them in their grievous affliction. The deceased was thirty-two years of age.  Thus, truly "In the midst of life we are in death."

We learn that the relatives of the deceased, at the East, have been telegraphed, and some of them are expected to arrive by this evening or the morning train, until which event definite arrangements for the funeral are postponed.  Grand Rapids (Mich.) Daily Eagle, June 28th.
