  	J C Garard Esq, prothonatary, Waynesburg, Penna, was 
born in Greene County. He is a son of Justus Garard and 
Emeline Mestrezat Garard, also natives of this county and of 
French and English descent. The family were among the 
earliest settlers of the county; Mr Garard's great 
grandfather being the Rev John Corbly, one of the pioneer 
Baptist ministers. His grandfather, Garard, was a farmer and 
Justus Garard, his father, was a cabinet maker and engaged 
in that business for years at Mapletown, Penna. The subject 
of our sketch was reared in Monongahela Township, where he 
received his early education in the common schools. He 
afterwards spent some time in the State Normal School at 
California, Penna, and Waynesburg College. After leaving 
college, he taught school until 1878 when he was elected 
clerk of the courts of Greene County and served six years. 
Mr Garard was elected prothonotary in 1884 and re-elected in 
1887 and has filled that office very acceptably. In politics 
he is a Democrat. He was married in Fayette County, Penna, 
in 1879, to Miss A B Schroyer, at Masontown, Penna.
