Benjamin Hardin and Cornelia Elizabeth (Miner) Hardin

Taken from an old newspaper clipping that I haven't been able to date as of yet -- but at least before 1930 as Ben died 2-27-1930 and is buried in Portland. This couple had at least 10 - 12 children all born in Portland and many of their descendants still reside in the area today. Some known related surnames are: DICKENS, KING, RUSSELL, WENDT, RICKEL, STREET, BOREN, BRILEY, CLINE, DEMASE, POOLE.
