In Memory of Audra Hardman
(Original Obituary found in Bible of Martha Ann Womack. This infant who passed
on is the nephew of Martha. Martha and Mrs. J. H. Hardman are half sisters)....
The death angel visited the home of Mr. & Mrs. J. H. Hardman and claimed their
darling baby boy, Audra on April 28, 1923. He took sick last August and never
recovered. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. William Phillips. He was
laid to rest in the Dresden Cemetery in April 29, 1923.
Thou art gone our precious darling Never more canst thou return Thou shalt sleep
a peaceful slumber till the resurrection morn.
His troubles are all ended here
His sufferings are all over
But in that bright and happy home
We will meet to part no more.
But God had a place in heaven
that he wanted to complete.
So he took your darling Audra
to fill the vacant seat.
He is resting, sweetly resting
in his everlasting arms.
He will meet us all in happiness
as we leave this earthly home.
All is dark within our dwelling.
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one you loved so dearly
has forever passed away.
The golden gates were open wide
A gently voice said -- Come.
The angels from the other side
welcomed your loved one home.
Sleep on, sweet Audra
and take thy rest.
God called thee home.
He thought it best.
