Obituary (Kokomo Dispatch; 28 Nov 1910; page 7)

Benjamin R. Yard

Benjamin R. Yard, aged 76 years, a veteran of the civil war, and a well known citizen, died at midnight Sunday at his home, 205 South Philips street. After an extended illness death came and was the result of a complication of troubles.

The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon from the residence and will be in charge of the local post of the G.A.R., of which the deceased was a member.

Mr. Yard came to this city half a century ago and was married here. At the end of the civil war and he returned to Kokomo, and although he was in Indianapolis, Logansport, Peru and Dayton, Ohio, for longer or shorter periods he always considered Kokomo as his real home.

Mr. Yard enlisted in the First light artillery of the Twenty-first regiment, for a period of fourteen months to fill out the company’s quota, but he did not receive his discharge at the end of that time. At the close of the war he was in the ranks.

Besides the widow four children survive, Henry and George Yard, Mrs. Emma Clevenger and Mrs. Addie Newburn.

Mr. Yard was a man of quiet demeanor, of friendly disposition and made acquaintances easily. He held the respect of all his acquaintances. He was a man of upright life and to his friends his passing is a matter of regret.

Hi Tonya,

Glad to be of help. I did find a few more things online regarding Addie’s father’s Civil War Service. If you would like a copy of his pension papers, you can order them online at:
