Pg.1187, Walnut Grove Township: Mr. WILLIAM J. CHARD, son of William and Mary Chard, of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, emigrated from Scioto Co., that state, to Warren Co., IL, in 1845; but after a residence of one year there came to Walnut Grove township, Henderson Co., and settled near where Mr. Chard now resides. Cast upon his own resources and compelled to make a choice of an occupation, the independent life of a farmer was chosen by Mr. Chard. Beginning life with nothing, he has now about him all the comforts of life, having for many years given his attention to stock raising and farming. On November 30th, 1854, he was married to Miss Louisa Jane Duncan, daughter of Charles Duncan, of McDonough Co. IL. Of this marriage there are seven children, the eldest of whom, Calvin D. died when but two years of age. All the rest, Alfred M., Louella J., Ola E., Charlie D., Dennis A., and Harry L., are at home with their parents. In 1878, after a tour through the west to Walla Walla, Washington Territory, where he is planning to remove soon, Mr. Chard returned to his home, where he has exceeding happiness in his home relations of his six interesting children.
