Thomas Hardesty, the Oldest Man in the State Is Dead
At the Remarkable Age of 103 Years He Passes from Earth to Life Eternal
In the death of Thomas Hardesty, which occurred at an early hour last Saturday morning at his late home in Washington Twp., there passed from earthly scenes one whose life was especially remarkable for its logevity.
Mr. Hardesty was born October 16, 1790, on a farm in Maryland, situated but a few miles from Washington City. He came of a family of six children: three of them, a brother Daniel and two sisters, reside in Illinois, where another sister, Harriett, died about three years ago at the age of 105 years.
In the early part of the present century, when Thomas was about 19 years of age, his father removed with his family from Maryland to Ohio, and finally settled in Washington Twp., this county, where the subject continued to reside during the remainder of his life.
He married in 1812 to Fannie Burris, who has been dead for many years. Thirteen children were born to them, of whom but four survive--two sons and two daughters--Jeremiah Hardesty and Mrs. Henry McCoy, who reside near Wichita, Kansas; Elijah Hardesty of near Trinway; and Mrs. Mary Collins, who made her home with her father.
