General Notes: Husband - Samuel Bard

---

He was of German ancestry.
He learned the tailoring trade in his youth, and after his marriage moved to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he followed his trade for some time. In 1822 he removed to Slippery Rock township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, settled on the later site of Centreville, and was the first tailor in the village. About 1836 he engaged in manufacturing fanning mills, and in 1838 started a foundry, the first between Pittsburgh and Erie. This he operated until 1840, when he sold it to his son, John T., who carried it on for two years, and it then was bought back by the father.
He was a Democrat, in politics, and though he never held office, he took a lively interest in public affairs.

He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church; in early life Mrs. Bard was a Seceder.

He had a brother, William Bard, who also went to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he afterwards lived. He was the father of two sons, Emery A. and Harmon Bard, and of two daughters.
