Hardin's Wife Jane
Jenny L.
Hardin
first met Jane at a cousins wedding. Jane's
appearance was doll-like and dainty. They fell in love but didn't marry right
away. It wasn't until March of
1872 that Hardin brought up the subject to Jane. He told her to go to the mountains near El Paso to
live for awhile. He said that it would be dangerous! So he said to her, "If you knew that I would be killed
tomorrow would you marry me tonight?" And guess what she said ? She said yes of course!
