James Ward
Ohio native James Harvey Ward (1829–1912) was a local merchant. He moved to Lafayette as a child in the 1830s and worked as a cashier for a pork producer the following decade, before establishing a dry goods business in town in 1856. In 1859 he created a new company, with his twin brother William (1829–1893),[3] specializing in carpets and furniture. A carriage house on the 1116 Columbia Street lot was the company's wholesale warehouse. Their retail store was at the corner of Third and Main in Lafayette, on the second story of a building in Courthouse Square.[4]
Ward died in 1912, aged 83.[5] His wife, Martha, continued to live in the house for three years, after which it became divided into apartments. The addition linking the home to the carriage house was also removed.[4] Martha died in 1933, aged 75.[6]
Ward and his wife are interred in Spring Vale Cemetery in Lafayette.[5]
