Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of California and an Extended History of Its Southern Coast Counties, Vol. 2 of 2 Mr. Bard was made a Mason in Ventura and is now a member of Oxnard Lodge, F. A. M., and of Oxnard Chapter, R. A. M., and of the Ventura Commandery, K. T. He is a member and liberal supporter of the Presby terian Church, and a man of superior integrity and rectitude. There is a pronounced yet un explainable influence felt in the presence of some people that can be accounted for in no other way than that it is caused by the in ward thoughts and high motives of the per son to whom thev are ascribed. \vhen in the presence of such a man one feels, instinctive lv. That he has lived a pure and upright life and is one who can be trusted implicitly with out fear that any confidence imposed in him will be betrayed. There is no necessity to eulogize a man of the well known reputation and eminence of Senator Bard, yet it will not be out of place to mention that he possesses to a remarkable degree this personal magnet ism, as it is popularly called. While naturally endowed with the qualities which win the love and esteem of his fellow men, there is a strength of purpose in all his actions without which it would be impossible for him to live the blameless life he has with a career so filled with public and private duties as have fallen to his share.
