Her Early Years in St. Louis, MO

After their marriage in St. Louis, Missouri in 1877, Daniel and Mary Jane (Ryan) Hardie lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for a few years. Their first son, Daniel Eugene, was born in 1878 in Cincinnati.[1]

The family returned to St. Louis around 1879 and remained there until 1897, living initially on Papin Street and subsequently on Caroline Street then Bell Avenue. In addition to Daniel Eugene, the family unit in 1880 included Daniel Senior’s three daughters (Janet, Isabelle, and Elizabeth) from his second marriage as well as Mary Jane’s son (Eugene O’Neil) from her first marriage. [2]

Daniel and Mary Jane’s first daughter, Frances Diamond Hardie, was born in St. Louis in 1881. She was baptized at St. Malachy Roman Catholic Church, 2900 Clark Street in the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood. Her godmother was her maternal aunt Ellen (Ryan) Diamond, who would later marry John W. Allen.[3]

In addition to her three half-sisters and her brother Daniel, Frances had a second brother, William Norval, born in 1883, and a sister, Marie Ellen, born in 1886.[4] 

About 1889, Daniel Hardie became the proprietor of a pottery manufacturing operation, “St. Louis Art Pottery”, on 2135 Washington.[5] He is described in 1891 as a pottery dealer at 2135 Washington street who “lives comfortably with his family on Bell avenue, and all the members of his household are so uniformly healthy that he has said to his friends, laughingly, sometimes that the physicians of the city would never think of complimenting him by an honorary membership in their medical society”.[6]

In 1893, his clay pipes were included in a visitor reference list for The Pennsylvania Museum’s collection of American potteries and porcelains. They are listed in the art pottery section, class J – Pipes and described as “Red and White Clay Pipe Bowls. Made by Daniel Hardie, St. Louis, Mo., 1892”.[7]

From 1894 through 1897, Daniel Hardie continued to reside at 3336 Bell Avenue. However, during these four years, his pottery business on Washington is no longer included in the St. Louis directory. Likewise, his occupation/business is inconsistently identified as: pottery/potter (1894-1895), electric (1896), and travelling salesman (1897).

There is a suggestion in a family record that his business failed.[8] If true, perhaps that influenced the family’s move to Ohio around 1897, when Frances was 16 years old. They moved initially to Ravenna, Ohio and subsequently to East Liverpool, Ohio, where they resided in June 1900.[9]

Prior to the Hardie family move to Ohio, three of Frances’ seven siblings were no longer living with the family in St. Louis.

• Eugene O’Neil, her older half-brother, died in St. Louis on 30 May 1890.[10]
• Isabella, her older half-sister, married Louis M. Schmidt in St. Louis on 08 October 1890.[11]
• Daniel Eugene, her older brother, was living in Miami in 1894.[12]

Her Life in Ohio: Ages 16-31

The Hardie siblings who moved from St. Louis to Ohio with their parents were Frances’ two older half-sisters, Janet and Elizabeth, and her younger siblings William and Marie. The latter three, as well as her older brother Daniel, married over the next 10 years.

• 30 July 1898: Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hardie (26) and Frank Nolan (30) married in East Liverpool, Ohio. They were married at 7:45 a.m. at St. Aloysius Catholic church. They initially settled in East Palestine, Ohio, about 15 miles north of East Liverpool.[13]
• 31 May 1904: Daniel Hardie (26) and Annie E. Kelly (18) married at Holy Name [Gesu] Catholic Church in Miami, FL. They were married in the afternoon and afterwards were given a wedding supper at the private residence of her former employer.[14]
• 27 June 1906: William Hardie (22) and Harriet (Hattie) Roy (19) married in Port Huron, Michigan, at Hattie’s home. They resided to East Liverpool afterwards.[15]
• 18 June 1907: Marie Hardie (21) and John Smeltz (23) married in the morning at St. Aloysius Catholic church in East Liverpool. After the service, John’s parents hosted a reception at their home in Salem, Ohio. Marie and John resided afterwards in Salem.[16]  

In the years her siblings were starting their married lives, Frances lived with her parents and older half-sister Jennie in East Liverpool, at 115 7th street and then at 507 College street. At times (1904-1911), she worked as a clerk in downtown stores:  The Boston Store and Young’s. Both were department stores, selling a wide variety of merchandise, including clothing and linens. This 1908 advertisement from Young’s illustrates women’s fashions of the period.[17]

One of Frances’ daughters remembers being told that Frances married later in her life because she was frail and was concerned her children might inherit her frailty. Perhaps supporting this story are two brief items in the East Liverpool Evening Review. In June of 1906, Frances and her mother returned home after spending time at the Markleton Sanitorium near Rockwood, Ohio. The sanitorium was “a private hotel-like sanatorium where guests would visit for relaxation as well as treatment from every day “illnesses” like stress.[19] And in May of 1908 the newspaper reports that Frances was recovering from an illness.[20]

However, during this time Frances also worked, entertained, and travelled. She emerges from the personal items in the newspapers as an active socially engaged young woman.

• Soon after leaving St. Louis, in October 1899, Frances returned there for a visit. Friends held a luncheon and a dinner in her honor.[21]
• In August 1900 she travelled with two friends through Canada and the Great Lakes.[22]
• In 1905 she went to Toronto to visit a friend.[23]
• In January 1907 she visited with her brother Daniel’s family in Miami, Florida.[24]

In February of 1909 Frances attended her Uncle William Ryan’s funeral in Henderson, KY, and his burial in St. Louis, MO. William Ryan was the only living brother of her mother, Mary Jane (Ryan) Hardie and her aunt, Ellen (Ryan) Allen of St. Louis.[25]

In July 1909, Frances entertained Mayme Bedford of St. Louis with a card party at her home in East Liverpool. Mayme Bedford was also known as Mary Bedford. She was about Frances’ age and the granddaughter of her Aunt Ellen (Ryan) Allen and Uncle John Allen.[26]

In November of that same year, Frances and her parents travelled to Miami, Florida to spend the winter with her brother Daniel’s family.  Prior to leaving East Liverpool, friends gave Frances a going-away party. Her younger brother William Hardie was one of the entertainers.[27] 

Daniel was the Sheriff of Dade County, Florida in 1909. His oldest son, also Daniel Hardie, was about three years old. The following picture of the three Daniel Hardies dates from about this time.

While in Miami, Frances attended several social engagements, sometimes with her sister-in-law, Ann Hardie, the wife of Sheriff Dan Hardie. Generally, the events were held by a social club, such as the Ladies of Elks, and included a card game competition, a prize for the winner, and either a special beverage or a meal.[28]

When a telegram arrived in Miami about 13 February 1910 with the news that her sister was ill, Frances and her parents immediately returned to East Liverpool. One newspaper reported the news with this sentiment: “Mr. and Mrs. Hardie left a few days ago for their home in East Liverpool, Ohio. They were accompanied by Miss Frances Hardie … much to the regret of her many friends she had acquired during her short stay here.” [29]

The news does not provide the sister’s name. However, not long afterwards, three of Frances’ siblings left East Liverpool for the funeral of their sister, Isabella (Hardie) Smith in Chicago: her brother Will Hardie, and her half-sisters Christina Hulme (Tina Hardie) and Elizabeth Nolan (Lizzie Hardie). Isabella  died on Sunday, 27 February 1910 after a short illness.[30]

Back in East Liverpool, Frances continued to travel and to participate in social engagements. In July 1910, Frances visited for several weeks in Detroit, Michigan. [31] And in July 1911, she assisted the hostess with a wedding party.[32]

Marriage: 1912

Frances’ 1912 marriage announcement relates that her romance with Edward L. Murray “had its foundation at the home of her uncle, Mr. John Allen of St. Louis, to which residence the charming young niece would so often wend her way.” [33] 

Frances’ Uncle John Allen died 24 January 1911 in St. Louis and his funeral Mass was held at St. Thomas of Aquin Catholic Church on Friday, 27 January 1911. Frances returned to East Liverpool from St. Louis on 06 February 1911, roughly a week after John Allen’s burial. [34]

Edward Murray’s family were parishioners of St. Thomas of Aquin and lived in the neighborhood at 4042 Nebraska Avenue. In 1911, Edward worked at Murray Brothers grocery, located nearby at 4110 California avenue. Edward might have attended John Allen’s funeral and perhaps he met Frances Hardie there.[35]

Ten months later, in October 1911, Frances and her father, Daniel Hardie, made an extended visit to relatives in St. Louis. The timeframe gives some credence to the family story that Frances and Edward met in St. Louis at a funeral, after which they corresponded prior to their 1912 wedding.[36]

Frances’ marriage announcement describes her as “without doubt one of the most popular young ladies of the city, [who] has a host of friends who wish her every joy in this new venture on the sea of matrimony.” Edward is described as “a rising young business man of the south, where he is engaged [in] real estate”.[37]

In another wedding story, Frances is characterized as “a charmingly popular young lady of this city [who] enjoys a vast acquaintance of friends, to the more intimate of which she was familiarly known as “Sis.” Her ready hand of good-fellowship will surely be missed here, where she was the promoter of genuine good pleasure and her cordial manner was felt by all who associated with her.” In regard to Edward, the paper states that “while the groom is not so well known in this vicinity, his friends and business men of the south appreciate the sterling qualities of this rising real estate broker.”[38]

After the announcement, Mrs. Fred Furrer hosted an engagement party for Frances on Thursday, 25 January 1912. And Mrs. John Butler hosted a celebration to honor Frances the following week.[39]

The wedding was held at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in East Liverpool on 06 February 1912. It seemed to be a relatively simple event:

“Amidst a shower of rice, old shoes and the congratulatory farewells from a coterie of friends, a wedding party left St. Aloysius church this morning en route to the Pennsylvania depot, where the newly married couple boarded the 9 o’clock train for Pittsburg on their way south. The participants of the ceremony were Miss Francis D. Hardie, daughter or Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hardie of College street, this city, and Edward L Murray of St. Louis.

Promptly at 7 a.m. in the presence of a close circle of friends, and with Miss Janet and Will Hardie as the only attendants, the Rev. Father T. M. Smythe officiated in the ceremonies which forever bound these two lives in the holy bonds of matrimony. Immediately following the celebration of the nuptials, Mr. and Mrs. Murray left the city for St. Louis, where they will be at home to their friends after March 1.”[41]

Afterword

Frances and Edward’s first child, Edward Hardie Murray, was born 07 December 1912. Frances’ mother, Mary Jane Hardie, was with her for the birth. Just over three years later, Frances returned to East Liverpool where father, Daniel Hardie, died at home on 08 February 1916. Frances and some of her children were there for the funeral as was her Aunt Ellen Allen of St. Louis.[42]

In June 1918 Frances brought her four young children to East Liverpool for a visit with her mother, Mary Jane Hardie. The picture below shows Frances with her children at that time.[43]
