John Barnhard and family. Date is about 1868, judging by Sylvester, who was
born in 1854. The older ones apparently had returned from the Civil War, and
Sylvester was not yet grown up. John Thomas Huber, lower right, was born in 1862 and
his mother died of complications the following day. The Barnhards took him in as his
father could not care for a tiny baby, already having four or five surviving children
under 11 years of age.
Philena was married in 1872.
