Text of the obituary, "Funeral services will be held Sunday for Aunt Emma Bard, 90, Wauseon's last person who came up from slavery in the south. She died yesterday in her home of old age and heart trouble. Mrs. Bard was born of slave parents on a tobacco plantation in Boone county, Kentucky, in 1850 and served as a house girl in her owner's home until freed by the Civil War. Desiring education for her children in 1884, she came north and settled in Wauseon with her husband, Frank, who died 12 years ago."
