MISS JENNIE SUE HARDMAN ONE OF COMMERCE’S MOST LOVED
YOUNG WOMEN DIES

The hearts of our entire city and community was
saddened Thursday when it became know that Miss Jennie
Sue Hardman had passed away at her home near Commerce.
While it was generally know that she was seriously ill,
yet no one expected the end would come so unexpectedly,
and the news of her death was a great shock to the
town.

About two weeks ago she contracted a cold, which later
developed into pneumonia and while everything was done
to combat the ravages of the dread disease, she
gradually grew worse until the end which came last
Thursday, the 18th at 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon.

She was the youngest child of the late Rev. H. E.
Hardman and Mrs. Ella Brock Hardman.

Jennie Sue was born on the 13 of January 1903, at the
family homestead one mile from Commerce and has spent
the greater part of her life at home. She was educated
at the public schools of Commerce and completed her
education at the State College for Women at
Milledgeville.

In early childhood she gave her life to the guidance of
her Lord and was linked with Him in all life’s
relations. She united with the First Baptist church at
Commerce at a very tender age, before she was nine
years old. She loved the Sunday school and church and
was always active in her work for the extension of
Christ’s Kingdom. She was one of the most faithful
member of the young ladies Bible class and was
secretary for the class at the time of her death. She
was one of the most loyal members of the B.Y.P.U.
having served faithfully one of the groups leaders and
also as secretary for the organization. She bore
unmistakable signs of loyalty to her Lord and during
the days of her illness expressed a yearning desire to
render greater service to Him in the coming years.

The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Wm. H.
Wrighton, her pastor, on Friday afternoon at 4:30
o’clock at the First Baptist church, after which the
burial services were held and the body laid to rest in
the Hardman cemetery.

The following acted as pall bearers: Mr. T. C. Harman,
Mr. J. B. Hardman, Mr. Lamartine Hardman, Mr. George
Hubbard, Mr. Fred Williamson and Prof. C. L. Veatch.

She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Ella Hardman, one
sister, Mrs. Obe Smith, of Ila, and two brothers,
Messrs Charles and William Hardman, of Commerce, and a
great host of relatives and friends.

Her passing is a loss to our church, town and
community, and a personal loss to all who had the good
fortune to know her and whose hearts go out in deepest
sympathy to her bereaved family.

"Beyond the sunset she has gone to rest a little while.
The memory of her loving words, the sweetness of her
smile, fall like a benediction soft upon our lonely
ways. How we shall miss her presence here through all
the coming days. And thus she lives forever more tho’
out of mortal sight. Her spirit will upon us shed a
calm and holy light, for in the sky at eventide, when
fades the crimson bar, we know her light is shining
there, a gentle glowing star." A friend.
