IN MEMORIAM. 



JONATHAN BEARD OF FLOYD COUNTY. 



One of Floyd County's best known, most upright and conscientious 

 citizens, Mr. Jonathan Beard, passed out of life on Wednesday evening, 

 July 8, 1903, at 5 o'cloclv. His age was seventy-three years, and he is 

 survived by his faithful, devoted, accomplished wife, and one son, May- 

 nard C. Beard. Funeral Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family 

 residence near Edwardsvile, with burial at Wolfe's graveyard. 



Jonathan Beard was born and reared on the old Beard farm in George- 

 town township, near Georgetown. His parents were pioneers of Floyd 

 County, and he came from a family distinguished for the honest, upright 

 traits of the pioneer period of the county and State. He inherited all 

 these best traits of character. Conscientious and of fixed principles he 

 lived the life of an honest man and won the respect of all with whom he 

 come in contact. So living, death had no terrors to him when it sum- 

 moned him into the beyond. 



Closely identified with the agricultural interests of Floyd County and 

 southern Indiana, he was always in the lead in promoting the organiza- 

 tion and prosperity of agricultural and horticultural societies. He served 

 as a member of the State Agricultural and the State Horticultural Socie- 

 ties; he was identified with all the district societies in southern Indiana,
