Death from a Georgia Mule.
From the Newnan, Ga. Herald. Thurs. afternoon last a negro boy about fifteen years old on Mr. R. W. Hardy's place near Senoia, returning from plowing, attempted to dismount from a mule in the gear house. The mule became frightened and ran. The boy's feet were entangled in the gear, and he was dragged down hill to the creek, the injuries resulting in death.

Subj: A question about the Hardys

Dear Valerie,
My sister, Melinda Dickinson, exchanged information with you a couple of years ago regarding the Hardy family. Both of us have wanted to get into research but for one reason and another we haven�t so far. I promised her recently that I would get busy and do something and I have made a couple of feeble attempts to find things on several websites. It always seems confusing to me, but I was impressed by what you had found out about Aquilla and his children.
If I read a notebook correctly that was kept by my grandfather, Rufus Wesley Hardy, his grandparents were related in the same way your husband�s were. They were William Christopher and Susan Bailey on his mother�s side (Lenora A.), and Rufus Wesley Hardy and he just has �____Bailey�, but I see by your info that it was Lucy Mariah on his father�s.
Have you found out anything more on Jesse Hardy? I somehow thought that the Hardys would be back in England or wherever they came from by the mid-1700�s, but apparently not. I�m afraid I don�t have anything to give to you, but would appreciate it if you have traced the Hardys any farther back. I noticed that it is spelled �Hardey� in a couple of places, but I suppose alternate spellings are considered in searches.
Thanks for the research that helped us!

Valerie,
It has been a few years since we communicated regarding the Hardy family
history. My daughter and I will be in Huntsville, AL for a distant family
reunion on my father's side and I would like to visit the Senoia Cemetery
where so many Hardy descendents are buried. I have the e-mail of the photo
your mother-in-law took of Rufus W. Hardy's headstone there. Would you or
she have any advice about driving around Georgia or finding and/or visiting
Senoia Cemetery? We will be driving from Huntsville through Gadsden to
Senoia, then flying out of Atlanta. This will take place during the last
week of July...a warm time of year!
I'm curious how you found the Hardy/Steward bible that you indicated is
owned by Mrs. Frank A Finney of Gadsden, AL. How would I go about contacting
her to perhaps visit her when my daughter andI drive through Gadsden? I'm am
all excited again, trying to place each Hardy and their many descendents in
an order I can comprehend! Have you done any more research on the Hardys?
I'm enlisting my sister to do more along our other lines as well. What fun!
I hope all is well with you and your family.
Melinda Dickinson
