Sussex Independent, Friday, May 18, 1900: "Last Sunday morning Mr. Albert L. Harden in company with his wife, attended services at the Baptist church, as was their usual custome, but before the services were over Mr. Hardin was suddenly taken with a pain in the stomach, accompanied by a slight faintness. He left the church and went to the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Drake, who lives but a short distance away, and there laid down. In a short time, however, he felt better and ate his dinner with the family, apparently as well as any one present. About two o'clock he started home to bring his milk to the station, and as he passed the window he waved a good-bye to his wife, saying 'I'll soon come back for you.' Just as they got beyond the village limits, Mr. Drake, who was driving, noticed Mr. Hardin scraping his feet on the bottom of the wagon, and putting his arm around him asked what was the matter, to which he responded in broken accents, 'Oh! Oh!' and that instant life was extinct. He was brought directly back to Dr. Nugent's office and Dr. Dennis summoned. The two physicians used all medical resuscitations in their power, but to no avail. Mr. Hardin was an honored and respected citizen and an occupant of the Theodore Harden farm, near town. He was 41 years of age and had lived in Sussex county nearly all his life, as has also his aged father, William Hardin, now 83 years of age, who lives with his son, George Hardin, on the Elston homestead farm at Wolf Pit. Besides his widow and father, he is survived by four sisters and two brothers. Funeral services were held at his late home on Tuesday afternoon at half-past two. Interment in Fairview cemetery at Deckertown." Mona in IN
