Hardtner, one of Louisiana's outstanding lumbermen, who died in a Shreveport hospital on August 21 after a long illness. Rites were held in the St. James Episcopal Church in Alexandria. Burial was in Mount Olive Cemetery in Pineville, with the Rev. Tracy Lamar, pastor of the St. James Episcopal Church, officiating. Hardtner, president of the Urania Lumber Company, Ltd., of Urania, La., was regarded as the leading exponent of timber management in Louisiana and the South. He was a pioneer in the field of reforestation, although he was once considered a crackpot by those without enough foresight to realize that his ideas were sound. In addition to the presidency of the lumber company, Hardtner was chairman of the board of the Security National Bank in Alexandria; vice president of the Hardtner Lumber and Supply Company of Shreveport, past president of the Southern Pine Association, a 33rd Degree Mason, and Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. The Urania Lumber Company was organized by the late Henry E. Hardtner and E. J. Hardtner, brother and father, respectively, of Hardtner. "Quincy," as he was known to his many friends, had been in failing health for many years. He had undergone treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and at the Oschner's Clinic in New Orleans. He was transferred to the Shreveport hospital two weeks before his death. He died at 6 p.m. on August 21. Mr. Hardtner was married to the former May Tannehill, sister of Mrs. R. S. Walsh of Winnfield, and a half-sister of Estelle Tannehill, also of Winnfield. Survivors of the deceased include his widow, one son, Q. T. Hardtner, Jr., of Shreveport; one daughter, Mrs. Ernestine Hickman of Colfax, and four grandchildren, Q. T. Hardtner III, Ann Hardtner, Mary Jane Hardtner, and Quinton Hardtner Hart. Pallbearers were six nephews, Joe James, Henry James, Aubrey White, James White, George Tannehill, formerly of Winnfield, and David Crockett. Hixson Brothers Funeral Home in Alexandria will be in charge of the arrangements there. --------------0C154F091ED49066D036F78A--
