Hardy -
Mary Elizabeth Hardy, Dec. 2, 1948, of 2111 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL, wife of the late Clarion DeWitt Hardy; mother of Vaughn Harrison Hardy, Rochester, NY, Clarion DeWitt Hardy, Jr., New York City, and Mrs. Arthur Dean Swift, Maywood, IL. Service 3 pm, Saturday and First Methodist church chapel, 1630 Hinman Ave, Evanston. Burial private.
Although it is likely Mamie was cremated and her ashes strewn in the same cemetery as her husband, Graceland Cemetery could not confirm that fact. I've left the disposition as cremated, ashes given to family.
