Mrs. Hardy was one of Benton county's pioneer daughters and was born in 1854 northeast of Bentonville on what is now known as the old Kindley place. Later her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Pace, moved to Maysville where they lived until the close of the Civil War when they returned to Bentonville where she later married John Hardy. About 15 years ago they moved to Oklahoma and at the death of Mr. Hardy four years later she returned to Bentonville to make her home.
