The Carnegie Herald, March 1923
Harry Harold Hardesty
Harry Harold Hardesty was born at Norman, Oklahoma April 30, 1898. From Norman Harry moved with his parents to Colony where he entered common school at Prairie Home school. He finished public school and went to agriculture school at Haskell, Oklahoma. He completed to sophomore year there and returned to Cordell and graduated from high school in 1917.
He came to Carnegie in 1918 and began keeping books at the Farmers State bank. In 1919 he left Carnegie for the oil fields, Burkburnett, Wichita Falls and Ranger, Texas.
December 6, 1920 Harry and Miss Lucille Zimmerman were united in marriage at Hobart by Rev. Estes. They made their home at Ranger, Texas, where Harry was superintendent of the Washita Ranger Oil Col. From Ranger Mr. and Mrs. Hardesty returned to Carnegie while he did organization work over different parts of the state. They left Carnegie in the fall of 1922 for Bristow where he worked for some little lime in the oil field, and went from Bristow to Tonkawa.
Harry was fatally injured when a drill stem fell on him breaking his leg and back, at 10 o'clock Sunday night, March 11. He was rushed to the Blackwell hospital and died at 8 p.m., March 12. The body was brought to Carnegie for burial, and funeral services were conducted at the Christian church by the pastor, Rev. W.A.R. Lovell. Interment was made in the Alden cemetery.
Mr. Hardesty leaves to mourn his untimely death his widow, Mrs. Lucille Hardesty; his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Hardesty; two brothers, Leo and Raymond; and four sisters, Mrs. Owen F. Renegar of Cordell and Viola, Frances and Mariam who are at home.
Scores of Harry's friends in the Carnegie community mourn with the family in this sad accident and death. He was an aspiring, ambitious young man and in the prime of life. He had mastered the oil business, and was an expert driller. His pastor said of him at the funeral service; "He was morally clean, true and kind, and was loved by all."
