COURIER TRIBUNE, Seneca, Kansas, Thursday, December 18, 1919. Page 1.
DEATHS
Mrs. Elmira Hardon, a resident of Seneca since 1865, died at her home in this city at 3:30 Sunday afternoon after a long illness. In two weeks she would have reached her 88th birthday. She has been ill for the past six years with softening of the brain. Elmira Fitzwater was born on December 28, 1831 in Miamiville, Ohio. She attended the best schools of that day, graduating from College Hill University near Cincinnati. After teaching several terms of school in Ohio she came to Kansas in 1865. The same year on March 11th, she was married to L. A. Hardon. Mr. Hardon died many years ago but his widow continued to live in the old home until her death.
Aunt Myra as she was affectionately known, was a dear little old lady, fond of children and flowers. The love she might have bestowed on her own little babe, had it lived, was somehow enlarged to include a lot of little folks. It is told that when R. M. Emery, Jr and his sister, Mrs. Marie George were little tots, Aunt Myra was their patron saint. She yt them to bed and told them fairy stories. She loved to study the stars and God's great out of doors, the woods and Mother Nature. During the last few days she lived, her thoughts went back to the children of her mother. She leaves two sisters and two brothers in Ohio. Mrs. Elizabeth Humphrey of Madisonville, Mrs. Bealie Warbington, Wilson Fitzwater, who lives in the old home and Truman Fitzwater, all of Miamiville, Ohio. During the past five years, Mrs. Hardon has been tenderly nursed by Mrs. Etta Nipher. Besides her brothers and sisters, Mrs. Hardon leaves two stepdaughters, Mrs. Lou Murphy and Mrs. Lida Martin of Seneca. She was a member of the W. C. T. U./ of Seneca and perhaps the last surviving member of the Sunset Club. In the Old Stone Universalist church where Ant Myra worked for so many years as a teacher in the Sunday School, a church she loved dearly, the funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock conducted by Elder Joseoh Ford of Seneca. The interment was in thefamily lot in the city cemetery.
