CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. RICHLAND TWP PAGE 342 J. J. HARDY, proprietor of the National House, was born in Brown County, Ky., February 6, 1823, and is one of five children born to Benjamin F. and Amy (Pedigo) Hardy. Benjamin F. was a native of Paris, France, and a Lieutentant in the British Army during the war of 1812. He was wounded at New Orleans, and at this battle succeeded in deserting and joining the American troops. He was a blacksmith by trade, and after the war settled in Barren County, Ky., where he married our subject's mother, who was a native of Virginia. In 1830, while returning from a neighbor's to whom he had sold a farm for $3,000, he was murdered and robbed. His widow and children moved to Mooresville, Ind., in 1832, in a four-horse wagon, afterward removing to Lawrence County, where Mrs. Hardy died in 1865. At ten years of age, J. J. Hardy began life's battle for himself. Until seventeen years old, he was clerking in Springville, after which he learned blacksmithing, and in 1844 settled at Point Commerce, where he remained two years working at his trade. In 1845, he married Frances M. Gainey, and in 1848 went to Bedford and worked at carriage and wagon making until 1862. In August of this year, he helped recruit Company G, Fourth Indiana Cavalry, of which he was made Commissary Sergeant. Mr. Hardy saw much hard service during the late war, and is credited with being a fearless soldier and a prudent officer. He was in the battles of Shelbyville, Apline, Summerville, Chickamauga, Jonesboro, Chattanooga, Franklin and Nashville, besides numerous skirmishes and engagements. In September, 1864, he was examined by the Military Board and was commissioned Lieutenant of the Fifteenth United States Colored Troop by the President. Shortly after this, he took command of 200 independent scouts, and continued in command until being mustered out of service April 7, 1866, as brevet Major. Maj. Hardy was three times wounded, the worst of these being at Cedar Hill, Tenn., where he was shot through the neck, from the effects of which he is yet a sufferer. After the war, he embarked in the livery business at Bedford, but in July, 1868, came to Bloomfield, where he has since resided. In 1874, he started in the livery business here, and two years later built his present stable. In 1881, he erected the National House, of which he is the present popular proprietor. By his fist wife he was the father of one daughter -- Laura E. In 1868, he was married to Mrs. Julia A. (Ferguson) Milam, to which union is born one daughter -- Jennie E. Mrs. Hardy was the widow of ex-County Clerk, John I. Milam, by whom she had four children, only one yet living -- Mrs. Nettie Beaty. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 00:08:10 +0100 From: bwhilyerd@hcc-uky.campus.mci.net Subject: KFY: RECORDS: Westerfield, Uriah J., 1927, Ohio & Daviess Co (part 20) OBIT/MAR:WESTERFIELD, Uriah J., Ohio & Daviess Co., KY, LaMara, CO Submission # 20 by Barbara Westerfield Hilyerd.

MURRAY, manufacturer and dealer in boots and shoes, was born in Louisville, Ky., June 22, 1854, and is one of only two children living, in a family of ten, born to Dennis and Margaret (Coughlan) Murray. His parents were natives respectively of Counties Wexford and Cork, Ireland; were married at Manchester, England, in 1842, and four years after this event set sail for the United States. Mrs. Murray died in 1877, but Mr. Murray has since re-married and resides at Bloomfield, working at shoe-making. T. C. Murray removed with his parents to Bloomington, Ind., when two years old, and from there to Brown County, in 1857. He received only ordinary schooling advantages in youth, and when yet a boy learned the boot and shoe business of his father. He came with the family to Bloomfield in 1874, and on the 11th day of June, 1876, the nuptial ceremony of his union with Miss Matilda Doyle, was solemnized. Mrs. Murray bore her husband a family of four children -- Sadie, Mary E., Dennis E. (deceased), and J. W. -- but being afflicted with consumption bore her sufferings uncomplainingly, and finally gave up this life for the better one in the year 1883. Mr. Murray is among the enterprising young men of Bloomfield, and by strict attention to business and doing first-class work, has an established trade which requires his entire attention, and which he justly merits. In politics, he advocates the principles of the national Democratic party, and he is the present V. G. of Bloomfield Lodge, No. 457, I. O. O. F. He is a member of the Christian Church as was also Mrs. Murray. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 08:50:01 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Stone, George P. - Barren Co STONE, SMITH, HARTLEY, LARR "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC." CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. RICHLAND TWP. PAGE 355 GEORGE P. STONE was born in Barren County, Ky., March 8, 1842, a son of Stanford and Margaret (Smith) Stone, who were natives of Maine where they were reared, married and resided until 1841, when they moved to Kentucky, making that State their home until their respective deaths. Stanford Stone was a Methodist minister and a man of education, refinement and purity of life and character. He was a zealous worker in the cause of Christianity, and at the time of his death in 1858 was a Presiding Elder in the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wife died in 1862. They were the parents of three children, one of whom -- Jasper -- served his country in the late war; was Second Lieutenant in Company C, Thirty-seventh Kentucky Mounted Infantry, and was killed near Tompkinsville, Ky., in 1864. A daughter named Lucretia is the wife of J. T. Hartley, and resides in Liverpool, Eng. The only surviving son is the subject of this memoir. He was raised as are most itinerant preaachers' sons, and was a student at Transylvania College when the war broke out. Like his brother, he espoused the Union cause, and in 1861 became a member of the Ninth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, participating in the battles of Shiloh, Perry- ville, Murfreesboro, Nashville and a number of lesser engagements. He was slightly wounded several times, and was almost constantly in active service until his retirement from the army. By reason of meritorious con- duct, he was given a Captain's commission of Company C, Thirty-seventh Kentucky Volunteers about a year after his enlistment, and his official conduct as an officer of the Union army was such as to reflect credit and honor upon himself and company. After the war, he read law in his native State, was admitted to practice, and in 1867 located in Brazil, Ind., prac- ticing his profession in the courts of Clay and adjoining counties. In 1879, he located at Worthington, but the winter of 1883 moved to Bloomfield, which has since been his home. As a counselor and advocate, Mr. Stone is among the first in Greene County and is eminently successful in his profession. He is a Republican in politics and a member of the Masonic, K. of P. and K. of H. fraternities. His marriage with Miss Lucy J. Larr was solemnized October 15,1868, and William B., Lillian and Edwin H., are their children. Mrs. Stone was born at Dresden, Ohio, in June, 1844. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 09:05:37 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Dyer, George G. DYER, s/o Hannah E.

(Crose) Dyer, who were natives respectively of Ashe County, N.C., and Bourbon County, Ky. John G. came to Owen County, Ind., when a lad, but in later years moved to Putnam County, where his parents died. He read medicine for a time, but afterward engaged in farming, wagon-making and carpentering, and at one time was Superintendent of the bridge department for a railroad company. He afterward engaged in the marble trade, and, in 1870, came to Worthington, where he died in 1874. His widow yet survives him, and by him has nine children. George G. passed his youthful days upon a farm, and secured a fair education. From early boyhood he manifested great liking and aptitude for mechanical pursuits, and when about fourteen years old began working at watch-repairing, marble-cutting, and metal and wood engraving. He was in the marble business in Worthington from 1869 to 1880, and also worked at engraving and silversmithing. Since then he has been engaged in the jewelry business, and is doing well. He was married, in 1871, to Miss Emma Allison, and they have four children -- Daisy, Elsie, John and Charles. Mrs. Dyer was born in Johnson County, Ind., in 1851. Mr. Dyer is a Republican, a member of the Christian Church, the Masonic and K. of P. fraternities.

(Jessup) Sanders. The father was a native of North Carolina, and the mother of the same State. John Sanders, father of John, subject's father, was a native of North Carolina, who came with his family to Greene County, Ind., in about 1819. The mother's father, Caleb Jessup, also came from North Carolina about the same year, both families settling in Eel River Township, where they reared large families, and where they ever afterward resided. They endured many hardships and privations, and were highly respected by all who knew them. Subject's parents married in Eel River Township, and they had eleven children, four of whom are now living. Both parents are dead. The father died in 1860, and the mother in 1880. Subject was reared upon a farm, and had a common school education. In 1861, he enlisted in Company A, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He served three years. He was at the siege of Corinth, the battles of Corinth, Jackson, Champion Hills, the charge of Vicksburg on May 22, 1863, and siege of Vicksburg, and in a number of lesser engagements. After his term of enlistment was out, he returned home, and for some six years was engaged in farming. He then began in the livery business in Worthington, in which business he remained about eight years, and then engaged in mercantile pursuits, in which he has since remained.

They moved here in 1821, where our subject lived on a farm with his father until he was twenty-one years old, when he married Louisa Morrow, who was born February 5, 1833. Their marriage occured January 2, 1851, and was productive of six children--Marshall, Luther, Nettie (deceased), Ella, Noah and Edith.

At the last place he was wounded, after which he resigned his position, resignation taking place in Novemvber, 1862, first enduring the hardships of a march across Tennessee and Kentucky. After returning from the war, he again engaged in farming, and also in the dry goods business in Owensburg.

He owns 1,000 acres of good land, and has been identified with the growth of the town since reaching manhood.
