Southard, Herbert A. (1878 - 3 Mar 1920)

Herbert A. Southard, who has been in poor health for some time, died at his home on the North Side March 3, 1920, aged just 42 years. He was born in Maine and came here (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.) with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Southard when he was 7 years old. He grew to manhood here, attended Neillsville School and worked about home and around the city and on farms. He went west a few years ago and took up a claim, but poor health compelled him to return here. He was a quiet, honest, industrious man, faithful in all his work and dealings. Everyone who knew him was his friend. He leaves his aged mother, four brothers, Warren, Will and George at home, and John at Park Falls; three sisters, Mrs. Chas. Rose of Neillsville, Mrs. Sarah Elder of Butte, Mont., and Mrs. Jennings of Aberdeen, Wash. Mrs. Elder arrived Saturday night to attend the funeral which was held Sunday afternoon at the home under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen, of which the deceased had long been a faithful member.
