 Obituary - Mr George Barnard Evening Post
28/2/1923
Mr George Barnard, one of the earliest employees
of the "Evening Post" printing department and well known amongst old
identities of Wellington, died at his residence, 37 Brighton Street,
Island Bay, early last evening. Mr Barnard was taken ill on Friday and
succumbed shortly after an operation for an internal complaint. He was
born in Taranaki Street in 1858, and joined "The Post" as an apprentice,
remaining with the firm for about fifty years. At the end of 1918, on
medical advice, he gave up his position and he was pensioned off. His
eyesight however, later improved sufficiently to enable him to serve at
the Government Printing Office for a while. In his early experience on
"The Post" he served under the late Mr John Blundell's father, and he was
also a contemporary of the Hon. G W Russell, who was in the employ of the
firm for some years.
The late Mr Barnard is survived by his second wife, who lives at Island Bay; Mrs H McKenzie, of Palmerston North, and Mrs Stewart Vickers, of Tasman Street who were the issue of his first marriage; and his other children are Miss H Barnard of Island Bay; Mr George Barnard of Tasman St and Mr J L Barnard of Hataitai. Another son Ernest was killed on active service in the late war. The funeral will take place at the Sydney Street Cemetery at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
