COLT ?. HARUEsIY

Col. E. P. Hardesty, a resident of
Wells :or many years died in Car
son City Sunday night. He was
a prominent figure in the political
and business life of Elko County
until his health compelled him to
retire from active business. He
then moved. to Carson City. where
he resided until his death.
The following sketch of his life
is taken from MONDAYS Appeal:
Shortly after.the hour of IL last
night, at his home in this city
Calonel Edward Plat Hardesty, Ne
vada's oldest citizen, passed to his
eternal rest after an illness lasting
over a period of many years. The
aged pioneer had been suffering
from a combination of ailments
brought about by his advanced age
for many years and the end has
been anticipated for months.
Colonel, or Senator Hardesty, as
ne is more widely known in this
state, was one of the real pioneers
of the west. Coming into Nevada
in 1872 he engaged in the stock
raising business in White Pine and
Elk0 counties pnd from this line of
industry accumulated a fortune.
Colonel Hardesty came from a
race of fighters and his direct fam
lily have served through three wars
between this country and other
nations. His grandfather, Wallace
Hardesty, immigrated from the
north of Ireland prior to the
Revolutionary war and fought
against England during the whole
time of the struggle. A son Jacob
served this country in the war of
1912, and later the deceased the
remaining heir to the family name,
did noble service for his country
in the Mexican war. and was one
Of the few survivors of that memor.
able struggle.
AS to the exact date of his birth
there seems to be some doubt. Ac-
cording tc Wren's history Of Ne
Vada Colonel Hardesty was born at
Newport, Kentucky, in September
of 1924, making him 80 years of
age.
On the records of the great
register the date of his birth is
given as 1877. The death certi6
cate filed today gives his age as 95,
while a family Bible that has been
handed down through generations
places his age at lot.
His youth was spent in the Mis-
sissippi valley aud his first intro
ductiUn to the west was made after
his enlistment for service in the
Mexicap war. Following the war
he engaged in the freighting BUSH
ness between Salt Lake City and
various Montana towns.
Following his location in Nevada
ne took an active interest in pol
itics, being q staunch Democrat and
later n of the prime movers in
the Silver party. He served in the
legislature in 1884 and 1886 in the
assembly and latter in the upper
house. In 1884 and again in 1896
he was a delegate TO the National
Democratic convention in Chicago.
On January 6, 1880 he married
Mrs. Adeline Smith of Chicago
who survives him. He also left q
stepson, a resident of Idaho, and a
number Of other distant relatives.
Funeral arrangements have not
as yet been fully completed, hut is
believed that the last rites will be
held from the family residence on
Thursday afternoon.
