Hardwick - Sunday morning October 18, 1908, at 1:10 o'clock, at Watrous, N.M., Mrs. Edna Estelle Smith-Hardwick at the age of 26 years, 4 months and 16 days.
Edna Estelle Smith was born in Severy June 2, 1882, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Smith. She attended the Severy schools and with a class of ten graduated in the spring of 1897, she being the first of the class to answer to the call of death. After graduating here she attended Baker University at Baldwin where she learned to be an accomplished musician and was a fine pianist. She was married to Roy D. Hardwick at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, December 26, 1904 and they made their home at Lexington, Oklahoma, until about a year ago when they removed to Ellensburg, Washington, where she was taken sick. She was brought back to her home here the first of July and about a month ago her husband took her to Watrous, N.M., as a last hope that the climate would do her some good. Everything possible was done, the best of medical attendance and the constant care of nurses and her husband were of no avail and she passed away to the great unknown without a struggle and happy that it would relieve her sufferings on the morning of the 18th.
Here she played as child, developed into beautiful girlhood; here her young life was spent, her battles fought. In this dearest of all places to her, she lies down at length to sleep and rest. Beautifully appropriate suck a resting place, where her mother sleeps, and where a few of her life long friends remain to gather about the dear form with honest tears of bereavement, to lay her away tenderly in the narrow house with its curtians of fadeless green. To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to see life's endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vast throng of loved ones, missed from earth, safe about her.
She leaves a husband, father, one sister and brother, besides other relatives to mourn her loss.
The remains accompanied by her husband were brought to Severy Monday evening and taken to the home of her cousin, C.G. Pierce, and at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon funeral services were held at the M.E. church, conducted by Rev. E.V. Gardner and the remains were interred in Twin Groves cemetery.
