Biography

David Bard, born in 1744, spent his life in the rolling hills of Sinking Valley, guiding the farms and families who depended on him as that region evolved from frontier to settled countryside.

His steady work ethic and sense of stewardship helped carve a path forward for the valley's next generations, and the Sinking Valley Cemetery now keeps his memory nestled within the landscape he loved.
