Marriage Certificate of Lawrence Harding and Susie Hamilton - Nebraska, Boone Co. Book 3 Pa ge 35

Marriage Certificate of Lawrence Harding and Lena Utley - Nebraska, Holt Co. Book 4 Page 12 1 This marriage certificate lists Lawrence's place of birth as Palo, Iowa.

Family Bible of Susie Hamilton that I copied. It has the births of all the children, marriag es of Lawrence(1&2), and birth and death of James E. Harding, father of Lawrence, and the death of Susie and Lawrence and baby Edna Harding written in later with a different handwriting.

(Told to Mary Singer Shaffer 3 July 1977 by Ona Marie Harding Rohde)
Lawrence Edgar Harding drove lumber from Sioux City (across the Missouri River) to Valentine . This was before 1890. Some of the Indians would kill the settlers. He made peace with the Indians. He would bring them whiskey and they would smoke the peace pipe. Ona Marie Rohde has a peace pipe from her father. In the years that he did this he was never molested by the Indians. (Told to Mary Singer Shaffer 3 July 1977 by Ona Marie Harding Rohde)

The Harding homestead was outside of O'Neill, Nebraska. It was northwest of town. There wa s a swing in the barn. 1892 was painted above the door on the inside. They would swing to touch over the door. When they painted the barn they would take white paint and carefully repaint the date.

There was a swimming hole by there. The deep end came to Ona's neck. It was shallow for th e rest. She would swim. The rest of the children would just splash and play. She tried to get the kids to go where it was deep. None would. None ever learned to swim. She would swim in an old housedress. The kids would get wet in their clothes. They went almost every night in the summer. People in town thought it was terrible, that it wasn't meant to swim in.

In the summer of 1978 Mary Singer Shaffer, James Shaffer, (her husband) and Ona Marie Hardin g Rohde visited the O'Neill area and saw the Rohde homestead and the Harding homestead.

The Harding homestead was used as a rental but they had moved out the year before Lawrence Ha rding and Susie Hamilton were married. (Told to Mary Singer Shaffer by her mother Helen Rohde Singer)


Marriage:
Lawrence Edgar HArding met Susie Caroline Hamilton because her father owned a fancy team of h
orses and Lawrence worked in the stables. Susie would leave notes for him in the barn. The parent's didn't like it. They were married by Joseph Hamilton, her father.
