"Died...in Brownsdale, Mower County, Minnesota, August 9, C.F. HARDY, of heart disease; formally, Probate Judge of this county, in the 63rd year of his age. The above announcement will be received with sorrow by his many friends throughout the country, although it was not entirely unexpected. Mr. Hardy had but a short time since resigned his position as Probate Judge at the solicitation of his friends, not doubt with the expectation that he had not long to live, and now it becomes our painful duty to record the death of this good old man. Mr. Hardy was born in Lincoln, Massachusetts, in the year 1807, and resided in Waltham, Massachusetts, until he was 21 years of age, when he became a student in the Harvard College. He came west in 1840 and has been a pioneer ever since, and in 1856 he settled in Mower County, where he has since lived and been identified. The deceased was a member of the Baptist Church. His death was instantaneous and without pain. The funeral will take place from his late residence, one mile south of Brownsdale, at half-past ten o'clock, today, August 11, 1870."
