Obituary - Ezekiel Cloyd Beard
BEARD.--Ezekiel Cloyd was the fifth son of Rev. John Beard. He was born March 12, 1838, in Wilson county, Tenn.; moved to Illinois in 1848. Educated at Cherry Grove Seminary, with an elder brother he went in 1858 to Cass county, Mo., to teach, and had the Younger boys for pupils. He was not a church member, but in early life led in church and Sunday school music. He never married, but cared for his mother in her last days. He lived in Atchison, Kans., several years. He died of brain fever, September 23, 1905. He was taken to Round Prairie and laid beside mother and father; and as no minister was near, Elder John Linville conducted services at the grave.
--C. P. Duvall.

Obituary - Thomas Calhoun Beard
BEARD.--Thomas C. Beard, Kansas City, Kans., died of asthma, February 22, 1906. He was the third son of John Beard, a cousin of Dr. Richard Beard, and a grandson of Rev. Ezekiel Cloyd. He was born in Wilson county, Tenn., October 31, 1832. He was reborn at Stoner's creek in 1846. Aversion to slavery took them to Illinois, at Cherry Grove, in 1848. Here he was married, June 29, 1855, to Salinda Jane Coy, who died February 14, 1879, Rev. T. K. Roach officiating. He moved to Iowa in 1858; but returned in 1861; then to Round Prairie, Kans., in 1863. He was ordained an elder in 1868. He attended more synods and presbyteries than any elder I have known, and often going when he had just enough means to take him there. But the Lord had more than this for him to do; and after a struggle, he yielded to the work of the ministry, March 2, 1872. He worked against great odds for more than six years, when he retired, April 13, 1878, allowing the things of this world to intervene, which he bitterly regretted to his last day as many others have done. Of course it was a great mistake not to please God first. But he never lost the spirit of it, and while he limited it to a private message, none were ever about him who did not hear some of it. I was his pastor ten years at Round Prairie, and when he moved to Kansas City, in 1897, received him into the church there, and at my suggestion he was elected a ruling elder, serving until his death. He was liberal in church work, giving five dollars a month to the Leavenworth mission. He was the last of the family, four brothers dying in the last fourteen months. He knew the end was near but had no concern for himself--only for others. "His heart was fixed, trusting in the Lord." His was indeed an altruistic life--and how blissful is such a life here, and how prophetic of what is to follow! He leaves five children, all in the church. He was taken to Round Prairie; Rev. J. C. Moore, his pastor, held services in his old home church, using I Cor. 3: 22, 23, and then he was laid away with wife, mother, father, two brothers and the others--one in Texas, one in Tennessee, one in Illinois and the only sister at Greenton, Mo., all to meet again at the resurrection of the just in the glorified kingdom.--C. P. Duvall.

Obituary of William Meek Beard
BEARD.--William M. Beard was the fourth son of Rev. John Beard. He was born in Wilson county, Tenn., February 22, 1834; moved to Illinois in 1848. He was converted in 1853. He was married March 27, 1857, to Sarah Hauthorn, who survives him, by Rev. J. C. Wagaman. He went to Kansas at the beginning of the war, but fearing he would lose his life, he returned. He lost what he had in those troublous times. Few have an idea how severe they were. In 1865 he came to Round Prairie, where most of the family were, and made that his home while he lived. He was one of the most king and inoffensive of men, and had no enemies. He leaves three sons and two daughters also. The services at his home were conducted by Rev. H. T. Miller, from Phil. I: 21. Now he rests with the family of nine, whose dust has returned to the earth as it was, and their spirits to God, who gave them.--C. P. Duvall.
