| Notes |
- From THE ROSEMARY SUMMERS PICKETT PAPERS. William is the source of the
information in "20th Century History of Springfield and Clark Co., OH" by Wm.
A. Rockel, 1908. William was a sheep farmer. In 1863 William was a member of
the 176th Ohio Volunteer Infantry for service in the civil war. He was with
his company in camp at Urbana, OH, when he received a note from his business
partner (in the sheep farm, J.R. Ware) which asked him to turn over his gun to
the messenger, a man by the name of Thomas Cartmell, as the latter was willing
to take his place and was an unmarried man. Mr. Ware knew that Williams
absence from the sheep farm would be a sad loss to their business. William
made arrangements by which he could turn over his equipment to Mr. Cartmell,
after which he returned home. On 29 Oct 1906, Mr. and Mrs. Hardman celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary and it was an occasion that will be long
remembered by all of those who participated from many area counties and cities
including four children, seven grandchildren and eighty-eight other relatives
and near friends, many of whom were not previously acquainted.
