Tho he had suffered from stomach trouble for a number of years he had been confined to his bed only a few days and death was wholly unexpected. Sunday night after a third attack of gall stones he fell into a sleep from which he never awoke and after about two hours passed away without a struggle. He was the youngest son of Thomas Jefferson Hardman and Mary Jaynes Hardman. When a child they moved to Scotland county, Missouri, where he grew to manhood. His parents were descendants of the Hardman's of Pennsylvania.

In the Civil War he enlisted with the 45th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry and was honorably discharged Dec. 15, 1864. He was united in marriage to Martha I. Roseborough April 13, 1865 at Memphis, Mo. To this union ten children were born, one daughter Martha and one son, Samuel having preceded him to the great beyond Mr.

Hardman and his family moved to Fremont county, Iowa, in 1874 where they resided two years. In 1877 they moved to Pottawottomie county, Iowa and lived there until 1879. At this time they came to Graham county, Kansas, where he took a home stead and it was here that he made his home until October 1916 when he and Mrs. Hardman mov ed to Lenora. He was one of the earliest settlers of Graham county and suffered the hardships of pioneer days.

Mr. Hardman united with the Baptist Church in 1867 and has always been a firm believer with the greatest faith in his Creator. He joined the Masonic order at Big Grove, Iowa in 1877 and was also a member of the A. O. U.

W. Lodge at Lenora. He possessed a genial disposition and was a kind and loving father. His memory will be cherished and he will be greatly missed by those who love him best. The large attendance at the funeral services testify to the esteem in which deceased was held.

Funeral services were held Nov 21st at 2:30 p. at the Congregational Church at Lenora, conducted by Rev. W. E. Dull.

The Lenora Masonic Lodge escorted the body to the South cemetery where it was laid to rest with the rites of the order. Besides his wife, he leaves to mourn his loss: Mrs. S. Larrick, Thos. Hardman, John E.
