HARDIN
Friends and relatives here learned with deep sorrow of the death last Thursday of Miss Letitia Hardin, the young daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Martin D. Hardin, at Chicago. She was 22 years of age, a bright and winsome girl, full of talent and with a bright future before her. Last year she graduated at Vassa college. On Monday she was stricken with pneumonia and in less than a week was called from her suffering. Miss Letitia was born in Harrodsburg, and some years ago when the town and county had its famous Home-coming week, a prize was offered to the person, born here, who was youngest when they left. The trophy went to Miss Hardin who was twelve days old when her parents went away, and she was awarded a silver spoon. The funeral was held in Chicago and the burial was at Bloomington, Ind., in the family lot of her grandfather, the late Vice President Adlai Stephenson. Besides her parents she is survived by one sister, Miss Julia Hardin, and three brothers, Martin, Jr., Parker and Adlai. Dr. Hardin was on the eve of moving his family from Chicago to New Haven, Conn., where he had accepted a call of the pastorate of the Presbyterian church at $15,000 a year.
