At a very early age Mr. Bayard learned the trade of a tanner, which he followed until he was twenty-five years old. He then engaged in farming until 1878, when he began merchandising in Rogersville, where he owns a general store. He received the appointment of postmaster at Rogersville in 1880, and has been filling that position ever since.
