Our Hardy Grandparents

Written for the Hardy Reunion on April 9, 1977 in Logandale, Nevada

Grandpa and Grandma Hardy were married in the St. George Temple on December 2, 1890.

They were the parents of nine children and forty-two grandchildren. Their little son, Gile Wilford, age two and a half years, died of typhoid and pheumonia. Their other children all grew to adulthood.

Our grandparents were great people and set good examples for us to follow. They taught their children well and were always interested in their grandchildren and wanted them to do the right things.

The Church was very important in their lives and they always tried to live its teachings. I didn't have the privilege of knowing Grandpa Hardy, but Grandma Hardy came to visit us quite often, and she told me many things about her life and family. She was always so proud and happy to hear of an accomplishment of one of her grandchildren. I'll always treasure the memories I have of her and the time that she spent visiting us in our home in Logandale.

It is very important that we should all try to honor their name and do the things that would make them proud and happy.
