Hardin Licurgas "Kurd" Reeves was the son of Hardin H. Reeves and Sarah Perkins. He sometimes used nicknames of "Kurd" or "Harvey." According to his son, John Allen Reeves. Hardin hauled freight with a team and wagon between Illinois and Arkansas and all points in between. In addition, he hauled and sold water locally from the "Big Spring" in Cotter, Baxter, Arkansas to the residents so they could fill their cisterns.

He was married twice. His first wife was Mary Elizabeth Mayfield and they were married about 1875. They had six children: Emily Catherine Reeves Spangler, James Franklin Reeves, Moses Mack Reeves, George A. Reeves, David O. Reeves, and Hattie Helen Reeves Baker.

His second wife was Ada Marie Anderson. They were married May 24, 1904 in Harrison, Boone, Arkansas. They had seven children: Etta Reeves Gilliland, Harold Reeves, Edna Lola Reeves Thurman, Arthur Edgar Reeves, Ora Florence Reeves Gehrer, John Allen Reeves, and Cora Mae Reeves Goates.

When I was living in Cotter, Arkansas in the 50's, I would go to Grandma's house. At that time, she had remarried to Bill Robbins who was a shoe cobbler and beekeeper. Grandma would let me wear Grandpa's Civil War Uniform and beat his drum ( He was an Illinois drummer boy for the Union in the Civil War ). When Grandma died, the uniform, drum, and many historical items promised to me mysteriously disappeared.

He was my grandfather.
