Looking for Corda Inez ICARD. Born in Roane County West Virginia. Married William Marshal Singleton. Died 10/01/1964 in Cambell County, Kentucky. Parents might be Thomas ICARD and Mahala MURRY.

I believe Tom Icard was the brother of my great-grandfather, Nicholas Icard, Roane County, WV.
|
I have now confirmed Corda ICARD'S parents as Thomas Ausborn ICARD and Mahala MURRAY.
Thomas Ausborn ICARD was born June 5, 1862, possibly in Harrison Co., West Virginia. He married Mahala MURRAY in 1904. He died July 16, 1920 in Pulaski Co., Kentucky.
Does this match your Tom?

I believe the Tom Icards are the same. My information is "Thomas A. Icard, born 1861 Harrison County, (Va)WV, spouses were Mahala Murry and Ida A. Adams. His siblings were: Homer Nicholas Icard "Nick" (my great grandfather on my mother's side) born 28 Nov 1861 Harrison County, died 10 Feb 1923, married Mary Lee Vandale, 22 April 1881. Martha F. Icard born 1863 Taylor County, Va (WV), my grandmother was their daugher, Laura D. Icard Cain. - Martha F. Icard, born 1863 Taylor County, PA (now WV), married 28 Oct 1880 tp William G. Vandergrift - Marietta Icard born 1865 PA, married unknown Forshey - Emma E. Icard born about 1866 in Barbour County, WV, married 12 March 1882 in Roane County to J.J.A. Morrison, and Diadema Icard, born 1870 in Harrison County, married 28 Oct 1886 in Roane County to Hiram M. Chancy. The parents of these children were ISAIAH ICARD married Jullia Ann Watts. Isaiah died 23 Feb 190a and is buried in Roach Cemetary, Roane County. Isaiah was widowed by age 42, he remarried to Elizabeth Marcelia and had 6 more children, r of whom wre living as of the 1900 Roane County Census. I found a copy of his obituary in my grandmother's bible and if you are interested, I will type it for you and send it.

Forgive my typos. The first information regarding Martha is in the wrong place. Just delete it. My great grandparents were Nick and Mary Icard. Julia Icard died 11/2/1879 at age 44 years 5 months 3 days, her parents were Richard & Betsy Watts. "Harrison County WV Death Records 1853-1893". Living children of 2nd wife and Isiah were Bertha 1885, Jessie 1889, Homer, 1890 and Nina 1881.

I think we might have a connection here. Let me know if you would like to continue off the message board.

Yes, I would be very interested in doing that. The Icards have been very difficult to research.

I have been looking for information on Isaiah Icard. He was my Great Grandfather. He married Elizabeth M Morrison after the death of his first wife Julia Ann Watts. I can find no information on his death or his parents. I would be interested in his obituary

Hello, This is the transcribed obituary I received from Joyce Martin.
From newspaper clipping found in my grandmother's family bible, which had been the bible of Mary and Nick Icard. OBITUARY: Isaiah Icard was born in Pennsylvania, April the 4, 1839, and died February the 23, 1901, age 62 years, 10 months, 19 days. He was raised in Taylor Co., WV, by a man by the name of Rice, near Middleville. He was converted and found saving faith in the Lord, and joined the Baptist church when he was 18 years of age. He was class tender and superintendent in the Sunday school, and was a faithful servant of the Lord, always in his place at church; he was married to Julie M. Potts (Note from Joyce: all records I have found gives her name as Watts, not Potts), shortly after he ws converted, and lived a happy life. There were six children born to them, five of them are still living, one preceded him to the better world. His wife was then called away from him in 1878. He then came to Roane County, West Virginia, and was married to Elizabeth Marcelia Morrison, July the 4, 1881. There were six children born to them by his last wife, two of them preceded him to the better world, four are still living. He was the father of 12 children in all, nine of them still live tomourn the loss of a loving father. He received a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1893, and joined the M.E. Church, and lived a faithful disciple of the Lord, til death. He died with an abcess of the stomach. He bore his suffering with patience; when his neighbors and friends would go in to see him, his first word would be that he was ready to go when the Lord saw fit to take him. He said he did not fear death, he said he could say as Paul said 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.' In his life he exhibited traits of unswerving faith in God; he was a good man who feared God and eschewed evil. The last few days of his life, he was a great suffer, but no shut in sufferer could be more patient than he was; casting all his care upon Him who careth for us, he extended a sweet cheerfulness which transfigured his bed of lanquishing into a throne of triumph; he lives today with the host of the redeemed beyond the grave; he leaves a loving and bereaved wife and nine children, and a host of friends to mourn their loss but God is ever ready to take care of the widow and the orphans, if they but trust in him and follow him. Brother Icard's remains were laid in the Roach cemetary by kind, loving hands. 'Dearest father thou has left us, And thy loss we greatly feel, But the God that has bereaved us, He can all our sorrow heal." (The clipping ends here - Joyce)
