Z. 7. HardSty.

Tie reaper, Deatb, is gathe ring a rich
harvest in this county. Wednesday
AFTERNOON ut II few minutes before
o'clock u. I. Hurdesty, another OF Elko
county's best citizens, answered the call
at his home on South Fork.
MIR. Hardesty WAS porn ON November
S, 1913, in Henry county, Kentucky. In
1850 his parents moved to Missouri. 10
1861, ne crossed the plains to California
aud in 1872 he came TO Nevada. In 1873,
he settled on the ranch ut South Fork
hat has since been known as the @. w.
and Il. 7. Hardesty ranch. During all
these years, he has been one OF the coun-
ty's prominent and prosperous citizens.
One year ago, Zacki ~ everybody
called him, seemed to have u long lease
OF lie before him and his friends wer:,
shocked a few months ago to IL Rfn that
he had been stricken with cOncer Of the
stomach, an lncGrHble disease. tie
placed himself in charge OF the Drs.
Hood here, but they we're unable to stay
the disease. lie then went t. San Fran
cisco anu consulted eminent specialists
who told him nothing could be done for
him. lie then came home and bravely
waited for the end.
MIR. Hardesty took an active interest
In county affairs. He was a republican
In politics until the silver excitement in
1897 broke up party orgaDizau-rs / this
State. In 1896, he was elected TO the
assembly as M. independent silver car-
didate. He served his co aituents with
credit and made M honorable record.
In 1900, he was the republican candidate
for long term county commissioner, but
was defeated toy Commissioners Lytton,
his democratic opponent.
Three brothers, George W, residing
at South Fork, Kinzie, residing in Mon.
tana, and II. G, residing Mt Lovelcck,
and three sisters, Miss Lizzie, residing
at South Fork, Mrs. Tucker. residing in
the state OF Washington, and Mrs.
Boettcher, residing at Santa Rosa, Cali
~tornia, survive him. They have the
sincere sympathy OF a large circle OF
friends in their bereavement.
Mr.. Hardesty was an honorable, up.
right, industrious man. lie always did
his duty rs he saw it. More than once
the writer Inns received words Of en-
couragement from him in his conduct
OF this paper. lie, like other men,
made mistakes. but those mistakes were
errora OF judgement and came from the
head not the heart. Now hat his work
il ended, let US cherish the memory OF
his good deeds ard bury his frailtics
with his cold and ~liieless body.
Mr.. Hardesty WINS h member OF Elko
