JAMES ROBERT (BOB) BARDWELL AND LUVA LENORE (BROWN) BARDWELL

Bob Bardwell was born August 11, 1889, in the Bitter Creek Community, the son of Brainard and Mary Ada Bardwell, pioneers of Nolan County. The Bardwell family arrived in Nolan County in 1885. Bob was born in the house which now stands on the old Bardwell place and has been restored by the J. C. Pace Family.

Four other children were born to the Bardwells in this house. Among these were Mrs. Henry (Gertrude) Withers, who still resides south of the city.

Brainard Bardwell was shot and killed by a transient sheepherder when Bob was only nine years old.

Bob was interested in ranching, and for a number of years, he was state cattle inspector, during the eradication program on tickets, etc. He visited the ranches, especially at round-up time and inspected the cattle and dipped them if necessary. He rode with the cowboys and ate at the chuck wagon. This was a life he enjoyed very much.

Bob Bardwell and Luva Brown, daughter of R. O. and Sallie Brown, who were also pioneers to this country, were married June 28, 1908. They drove to the home of Rev. L. B. McCaslin, minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in their horse-drawn buggy, accompanied by Ed Bardwell and Claude Brown and their wives. The minister came out to the hitching post, where the buggies were drawn up, and said the words which made them man and wife for more than 60 years.

Bob died May 16, 1977 and Luva died September 4, 1975. They are buried in Sweetwater Cemetery.

To this couple were born two boys and two girls, Gordon and Paul, who are deceased; Mary is married to Bill Kennedy and they reside in Lubbock where she works for the State Highway Department; and Mildred is married to Charles Shuff and resides in Sweetwater. Mary and Bill have two children. Bob Kennedy,m his wife Marisa and son Matthew reside in Abilene. Mary Jane and husband Larry Harbison reside in Fort Worth. Mildred and Charles have four daughters, Charlene Ragan, Glenda Byrd, Margaret Joyner and Gayle Biggerstaff. They have nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bob and Luva celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 1968 with a reception.
