  • Notes 
    • A Serena Hardesta is living as a 55 year-old servant in the household of Simion and Manerva Arnold in Green Twp., Clinton Co., Ohio in 1880.

      Nov 1, 1877, Clinton Republican newspaper:
      A substantial surprise was given Mrs. Serena Hardesty, a worthy, but poor christian woman, of Wayne township, one day last week. Supporting her little family as best she could, and that but scantily, the neighbors concluded to give her a helping hand. Gathering together, they proceeded to a grove near her home and set a large table and filled it with the good things of the land. While this was going on the men, with axes, fell too, and chopped up eighteen or twenty cords of wood, which (after she had been invited out to take dinner with them) was hauled to her humble home. Provisions of all kinds were also taken, and the old lady made to feel that she was still in a christian land.
