Mrs. N. B. Hardeman
With staggering suddenness, death moved into West Tennessee on Monday night, and, coming as it were from the nil', struck down Mrs. N.B. Hardeman, known to thousands of the alumni of Freed-Hardeman College and its predecessor, National Teachers Normal and Business College, as "Miss Jo." Sister Hardeman had accompanied her husband, N.B. Hardeman, president of Freed-Hardeman College, to Wingo, Ky., Sunday, where he delivered a commencement sermon Sunday night. They arrived home about midnight. She was apparently in normal health Monday, and consumed a hearty dinner. Shortly thereafter she was seized with an attack of acute indigestion, and passed away at 7:15 P.M. Born Joanna Kendall Tabler, she was reared in Henderson, and received her education in Georgia Robertson Christian College. She was a talented and accomplished musician, and taught instrumental and vocal music in Freed-Hardeman College and its predecessor for many years. Brother and Sister Hardeman were married on April 21, 1901. Through all the years of their married life she has labored with her husband in the schoolroom, and is beloved to the students who have passed through the institution to which their lives were pledged. In recent years she has been a constant companion of her husband in his preaching tours. The three children born to this union are: Dorsey B. Hardeman, San Angelo, Texas; Mrs. W. D. (Mary Nell) Powers and Mrs. C.M. (Carrie Neal) Foy, both of Henderson. Funeral services were conducted from the auditorium of Freed-Hardeman College on Wednesday afternoon at 2 P.M. at Henderson. --Gospel Advocate, May 9, 1940, front page.
