General Notes: Husband - Demas Barnard


Civil War: he volunteered at Grafton, Virginia, and entered the Washington Cavalry, under Capt. A. J. Greenfield. He was wounded by guerrillas while serving in Virginia, and when told that his hours were numbered he said to his captain: "They say I must die. I would like to live a while longer to kill more traitors."
His remains were interred in the Lutheran Cemetery near his home.
