1909 - Hawera & Normanby Star, 5 January 1909: During Christmas week three employees of the Eltham Dairy Company's factory met with painful accidents, and' made the company very short-handed for such a busy time. The secretary (Mr H. J. Barnard) had the misfortune to have a heavy roller passed over his foot; one of the butter-room men was unfortunate enough to have a 561b weight dropped on to his foot, crushing it considerably; and lastly, and perhaps the most painful of all, happened to the Te Roti creamery manager, who. while in the act of firing up the boiler, by some means allowed the fly-wheel of the engine to grasp the lump of firewood he held, bringing it with terrific force against his side, breaking three or four of his ribs

Dedicated Anzac Day, 25th April 1932, to the glory of God and to the memory of the New Zealanders that died in the Great War, 1914 to 1918"
The deaths of Charles and Henry Barnard are commemorated on one of the bells donated by their mother to the Wellington War Memorial Carillon. On the occasion of the dedication of the bells: 'The main ideas governing the gift and installation of the Wellington War Memorial carillon are that it shall be regarded essentially as a memorial to the New Zealanders who gave their lives in the Great War that it shall commemorate their deeds by the giving of special recitals on the anniversaries of the principal engagements in which they fell, and, the carillon being the greatest instrument in existence for the cultivation of the folksong and national and religious airs, it shall help to rekindle among New Zealanders the love of old England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and of their own land, and the ideals for which so many New Zealanders died - the triumph of right over wrong, and the establishment of peace and goodwill amongst men.' National War Memorial and Carillon, Wellington,  New Zealand"
