Her union on Feb. 2, 1882 to Mr Hardin was a most happy one; the two uniting their lives, their means and their entire efforts were spent for others. Most outstanding is their generous and continued support of Milligan College Carter County, Tennessee which is sending out many noble girls and boys to bless their names and heritage.
