John, I wasn't able to find much on Hardester in the Genealogical & Historical Society's books--I have Vol. I and Voll. (Cemeteries)--but I did find something regarding your Rebecca: listed on page 540: Roseberry Cemetery (Located on Phelps County Road 192, approx. 3/4 mile from Dent County line, Springcreek Twp. 34N, R. 9-8W., Sec.21.) CRADDOCK, DANIEL W. 10/28/1856 - 2/27/1923; m. Lillian E. Inman, 10 ch., 4 sons & 6 daus.: William Ezra (bur. Cedar Grove Cem.), Edwin E., Rebecca Hardester, Ethel, Mrs. Everett Black, Beatrice Mace, Blanche (m. Guy Robinson), Pearl (m. Cliff Edgar). CRADDOCK, LILLIAN E. w/o Daniel 9/25/1860 - 3/6/1946, home, Croddock, MO; nee Inman, parents bur. Inman Cem. near Round Pond. CRADDOCK, MARY ETHEL 1/15/1890 - 1/25/1975, d/o Daniel & Lillian (next is a James Craddock & his wife Ann Mobley Craddock of the same generation as Daniel--perhaps a brother?) Perhaps I could do more if I knew more about the people you're researching. I found a couple references for Hardesters in Macon Co., Bates Co., & Randolph co., MO. Could the one listed below be the right William? 1920 United States Federal Census listed at 133 Cordova Street: Hardester, William C - enumerated with wife, Della, 45, b. KS Age: 51 Marital Status: Married Birthplace: Missouri (also both parents) Race: White State: California County: Los Angeles Township: Alhambra ED: 577 ; Page: 9A I hope this helps, Dianne Spitzer
