Barnard, who became the head of a bank in Island, Kentucky, and who died about 1942.  Mrs. Barnard owned a home in Island, which I visited in 1959.  Then eighty years of age, she was still a fine-looking woman.  She had a collection of fine old glass and china that she seemed to enjoy showing.  Also, she had several albums of old family pictures; among them was a tintype of each John E. V. Smith and his wife, Elizabeth B. Kimbley, which she was kind enough to lend to me to have copied.  She then spent the summers in Island and the winters in Roseland, Florida, with her brother Vig (Vigaberry Preston Morton) and her daughter Mary.  Hers and Mr. Barnard's children are:
