As a matter of fact, got with Dwight last night. They have sent me a picture of Etta in a group picture and a copy of her marriage license to Curtis Hardwick. Also some letters she had written. But they don't know much else about Etta. We think she had a child with Curtis by the name of Thelma. Thelma is mentioned in a 1917 letter by Etta's mother (I believe) that says Thelma is almost 16 years old. According to that, this Thelma could possibly be Curtis' child. I know Curtis again married in March 27, 1901 to Myrtle Shores Matson. We don't know when Etta and Curtis divorced, so it's close as to whether Thelma is Curtis' or not. However, according to the book that was completed and put out at Curtis' funeral (not sure what to call it), Curtis has a daughter named Mrs. Thelma Putney. But we have not been able to find her. So if you or anyone working on Pike County knows any thing about the surname Putney, please let me know. Also if anybody runs across the name Thelma Allison or Thelma Hardwick or Thelma Daly, please contact me. Thanks, Barbara Hardwick Collier
