The following appears in the Stone Family Genealogy, by RC Stone, 1866:
Simon Stone (Charles' father, and father-in-law to James C. Barlow and George L. Avery, all of the 15th) married Sally Smith, and resides in Southbridge, Mass. He is a farmer, as also are his sons; his son-in-law, Charles Biggs is connected with an iron foundry; his sons-in-law, James Barlow and Otis Barlow, are wheelwrights; another son-in-law, George L. Avery, is overseer of a weaving-shop, and all reside in Southbridge, and in that portion of Worcester County.
The family of Simon Stone is peculiar. We know of no family who deserves its country's gratitude like this. It is a large family and it has largely contributed to the overthrow of treason, and the suppression of rebellion.
Charles E. Stone, enlisted, served a year(15th MVI), was wounded at Antietam, and discharged.
William J. Stone, served two years (25th Mass.) and was mortally wounded at Cold Harbor. He died at Armory Square Hospital. Washington, D. C.

James Barlow, (15th MVI, son-in-law) enlisted for three months and again for three years was wounded at Antietam, in the hip, and was discharged.

Otis Barlow (son-in-law, and brother of James Barlow) served in the army two years (1st CT H.A. and 2nd CT Vols.), and came home safe.

George L. Avery, (15th MVI, son-in-law) entered the army, and was shot through the foot and discharged; after it healed he enlisted again, and stayed two years.

An obituary for Charles E. Barnard was published on 19 May 1887 at "The Fitchburg Sentinel", Fitchburg, Worcester County, Massachusetts, as follows:
Death of Lieut. Charles E. Barnard
Lieut. Charles E. Barnard of Worcester, who died on Wednesday, was a member both of the 15th and 57th regiments, enlisting first in 1861 as a private in Co. E, 15th regiment. He was shot through the body at Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862, and by reason of the wound was discharged Nov. 24, 1862. In February, 1864 he again enlisted in the 57th regiment, and was appointed 1st sergeant of Co. F of Fitchburg, Capt. Levi Lawrence. He was in all the greatt battles of Grant's wilderness campaign and before Petersburg, and was severely wounded again at the confederate attack and capture of Fort Steadman, March 25th, 1865. On June 12th, 1865, Sergeant Barnard was commissioned second lieutenant and was discharged by reason of expiration of service on July 30th, 1865.
Lieut. Barnard left the service a cripple for life, and has spent many years a sufferer in bed. When able to leave his couch, he was moved about in a wheel chair, and was also driven about in a carriage. His severe wounds caused a painful complication of afflictions, which he always bore with the utmost fortitude. The cords of his right leg were so contracted that the leg was drawn up and rested on the abdomen and breast. His left arm was also partially paralyzed, and he suffered with a spinal disease. Lieut. Barnard was a member of the G. A. R., and his interest in the organization was always great. Although a helpless cripple, he never forgot a comrade in distress, and often stinted himself to aid a needy veteran. He received a pension of $72 per month. He leaves a wife and three children. George H. Ward Post, No. 10 of Worcester, cared for him during the last week of his life.
He was buried in May 1887 at Hope Cemetery, Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, according to one report. This needs verification.
In Jun 1887 Alice Elvira Woodard received a pension to surviving family member in Massachusetts based on Charles's service; receiving certificate number 33402x.
Alice Elvira Woodard was enumerated as the widow of Charles E. Barnard, of the 15th Massachusetts, in the 1890 Veterans' Schedules of the US Federal Census in Jun 1890 at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, noting his service with the 57th Massachusetts and that he was shot two times through the body.

We found men who were suffering terrible pain, and the boats were so crowded it was almost suffocating. Many have been neglected, as was readily seen by a glance at their wounds, and numbers tell woeful stories regarding the treatment received. Some had to be moved beds and all, as it was dangerous to transfer them to stretchers. We made it our particular aim to attend personally to the movement of some, and much to their gratification.
The color bearer of the 15th Sergt. Lafayette Warden, Sergt Henry J. Ball, and private Henry R. Dawson of Co. D, 15th, all badly wounded, were attended by us. sergt. Henry Houghton of Co. D, from Worcester, was badly wounded in three places---right thigh broken, and had to be handled very carefully.
We learn from the latter that Lieut. Hastings and 1st Sergt Barnard, were all right at last accounts, and spoken of in the highest terms. Sergt McFarland of Co. I was unhurt and called a perfect salamander against bullets.
He died on 22 Jun 1864 at Petersburg, Prince George County, Virginia, unmarried, killed "while skirmishing" as a Sergeant of Co. D, 15th Massachusetts. He was 22 years and 8 months old.

Sergt. George E. Barnard was promoted sergeant for conspicuous bravery in battle; he was in every engagement with his company (E of 15th Regt.) ; badly wounded at Ball's Bluff; returned to fight in Gettysburg. He was the last man killed in his regiment.
On 15 Jul 1874 George E. Barnard was included on the Civil War memorial at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.
