Family Friday: Amanda J. (Hardy), George Bartley & Family - 1895

Amanda is one of my paternal second cousins, three times removed. Our common ancestor is John H. Hardy.*

[Mandy (Hardy) Bartley is standing. Her husband George Bartley is seated holding their daughter, Hazel. The boys, left to right, are Willie and Chester Bartley.   The photo was taken at the Brady and Medaris Studio in Monticello, Illinois, in early 1895.

This branch of the Hardys left North Carolina for Illinois and that's where Amanda was born in 1869. She married George Bartley in 1887 and together they had four children, one of whom died soon after birth.

Amanda died in Piatt County, Illinois, in 1960, having survived George by 38 years. They are buried in Bement Cemetery in Piatt County.
