Henry S. Barnard: In the work of the Engraving Division, the work of three skillful hands has been closed by death since the date of my last report. Henry S. Barnard, an engraver of special talent in the branch of delineation known as “sanding” on charts, died, after a short illness, at the age of sixty years, on the 23rd of September, 1874. As a worthy and industrious man, Mr. Barnard fulfilled the expectations which attended his call to the Engraving Division in April, 1856.
