Please keep in mind many things in this family history have not beendocumented. I have compiled this information from checking records,documents and asking many people what the remember. I only wish I hadasked them sooner.

My records show Grandpa James W. Hardesty was an only child from theunion of Dennis and Elizabeth Lowery Skinner. It was the third marriagefor his father, Dennis. James W. Hardesty's mother had five children fromher marriage to Mr. Skinner. James' father had five children from hisfirst marriage and one child from his second marriage, so James W musthave had eleven half siblings, making a total of twelve children.

Grandpa worked in the clay mines in Haydenville, Ohio, the Anchor HockingGlass Compnay in Lancaster Ohio, and for the railroad. The Polk CityDirectory shows him living in Highland Park, MI in 1914-1917, nothing for1918-1919, but starting again in 1920 in Detroit.

Grandpa, Ronald, and Cloyd all worked for Ford Motor Company until theGreat Depression. After that it seems he had several jobs. He worked forThe Good Housekeeping Shop and several other sales jobs. Times were hardfor everyone then. Uncle Ronald and Aunt Nell must have helped thembecause they never lost their home.

Grandpa died from cancer in 1934.

Grandpa most always carried his horse-shoes with him wherever he went. Wehad a small court set up in our back yard and us kids and even my motherwould play sometimes. My Dad and Grandpa also played checkers. Religionwas important to him. He wasn't too particular which church he went to.Mostly he attended Baptist or non-denominational churces. All theHardesty's had large gardens every year. Uncle Eddie and Uncle Jack alsohad Victory Gardens during World War II.
