Samuel Prescott Hardy was born October 24, 1836 in Bradford, Essex, Mass. to Sanuel Brocklebank Hardy and Caroline Bacon Rogers.
He married in Salt Lake City, Utah, December 4, 1856, Almyra Lamb, daughter of Abel and Almira (Merrill) Lamb. They were sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake on September 25, 1857.
He was an early settler in Utah, going there with his parents in 1850, crossing the plains with an ox team.
He he was fourteen years old, his little sister died while enroute to Utah. He laid on her grave and refused to leave her. His father had to carry him to the wagon in order to continue their journey.He never got over the sorrow of leaving his baby sister way out in the lonely place where nothing but wild animals and Indians roamed.
While he was riding in the covered wagon the oxen stampeded and threw him under the wagon. He struck the wagon tongue as he fell, and had three ribs broken. He was strapped in a quilt and lay dangling from the wagon bows.
He went out to meet the Handcart Company and pulled the first cart over Little Mountain that came into the valley. He found some of the company in great distress, one man suffering from lack of water. They didn't dare give him water so they took off his clothes and put him into a pond for awhile. Then he got something to drink.
He was in the Indian wars of early days in Utah, and was called a Minute Man.
Samuel had a boot and shoe shop in the main part of town in Beaver, and did a good business, until machines made shoes so he had to lower his prices. Then he closed his shop and worked as a carpenter for awhile.
He then got homestead land in Idaho where he raised cattle and did some farming.
He had a deep clear voice and a fine figure. He was as tender hearted as a child , and hated to see anyone suffer.
He was always dressed up, never with out a shirt, tie and coat. Even about the house he was saved and boots shined.
Samuel and Almyra became the parents of five girls and two boys. all whom lived to old age.
He was staying at a relatives home to be close to the doctor. Hospitals were not thought of at that time.
