Notes par Maurice Charles BYARD

Chudleigh noted as birthplace on marriage certificate Asking my Auntie Irene, I learned that my grandfather, Maurice Charles Byard, prior to his marriage, lived with his brother Frank Percival Byard and taught Sunday school in the local Methodist Church. Soon after his marriage he worked at the mines in Zeehan and would have been there during the Mt. Lyall mine disaster in October 1912. He had to have returned prior to my father's birth in November 1913 to Roland as my father was born in Nurse Carey's house in lower Sheffield. I enclose now a copy of his obituary as in the Advocate October 1954. I remember my grandfather as being a jovial man, always putting my sister and I on his knee when he came to visit. I also remember the phone call telling my parents of his stroke and my dad trying to get to Burnie fast, almost having an accident as a car was overtaking toward on the road just prior to the Don River in Lower Barrington - 3 cars fitted on that narrow road that day. "The sudden death of Mr. Maurice Charles Byard, of Brooklyn, Burnie, came as a great shock to his many friends. The late Mr. Byard who was 67 years of age, was in the best of health, but had a seizure and died soon after returning home from Communion service in the Brooklyn Gospel Hall on October 3. The late Mr. Byard was born in the Deloraine district in 1887, and, with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. James Byard , moved to Roland, in the Kentish district, in 1891. there the family engaged in farming, which was no sinecure in those pioneering days. Mr. Byard was noted for his horsemanship, and drove teams to the railhead at Railton before the Sheffield railway was built. In 1910, he married Vida, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Banfield, of Sheffield, and went to live at Flowerdale, where he was superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school. Later he resided in Zeehan for three years, and again helped in the Sunday School work. He was employed in the Montana mine. In 1914 (had to be late 1913), he returned to Roland and took up agriculture again on the old family farm, and remained there till 1935. During this period he was superintendent of the Roland Gospel Hall Sunday school. In 1935, he moved to Cuprona, and in 1940 to Burnie. In both places he was a keen Church worker, especially among the children, by whom he was greatly loved. A very large gathering attended the funeral service, when Mr. D. Hull, in the Gospel Hall, and Mr. R.K. Dyer at the grave side paid tributes to Mr. Byard for his devoted and faithful Christian work in the community. A moving tribute was paid by Mr. Byard's class of girls from the Brooklyn Sunday school, who preceded the coffin at the hall and at the grave side. Chief mourners were the widow, two sons (Reg of Roland and Max of Sydney), and daughter Irene (Mrs. F. Mount), daughter in law (Mrs. Reg Byard), grandson (Neville Byard), brothers (Messrs. Harry and Frank Byard), and numerous other relations. The carriers were Neville Byard (grandson) and nephews J. Boutcher, L. Byard, J. Poulton, E. Jopson and G. Banfield. the pall bearers were Messrs. Alf Boutcher, Len Poulton, R. Young, A. Wyllie, A. Dawkins and G. Dunn. The numerous floral tributes included wreaths from the directors and management of the A.P.P.M. (where Mr. Byard was employed), Paper Makers' Counce, the finishing room, day shift machine room, cutter section, Printing Industry Employees' Union, teachers and scholars of the Roland Gospel Hall Sunday School, Roland, Sheffield, Burnie Brooklyn and Stowport Gospel Halls, Brooklyn Sunday school, Brooklyn Social Committee and Progress Association.
