John T. Harkreader was Vernon County Sheriff from 1900 - 1904. This photo is from a Nevada newspaper article. 

Bill Miller wrote that John T. Harkreader of the obituary was his Great Great Uncle. John's brother Lemuel Porter Harkreader (mentioned in the obit) is Bill's Great Grandfather on his mother's side. Bill tells that he can "trace the Harkreader family back to the arrivial of Johannes Herrgeroder (aka John Hargrader) who came to America in 1733. He had 13 children who spread south and westward from Maryland. The families used the names Harkreader, Harkrader and Harkrider with a few other odd spellings (in Lousiana). My side settled in Tennessee then moved northward to Kentucky then on to Missouri and Kansas (Kiowa)."

	Pauline wrote that James Thomas "Jim" Harkrader was the son of Thomas Jefferson Harkrader and his second wife Mary Ellen Knox (see obituary above). They also had Clarissa Ellen and Edward "Edd" Pauline's line stems from Thomas J.'s first marriage to Elizabeth Simpson---their children were John Wilbern, Anna Belle, Ada May and Grandville Ryan "Grant". John Wilbern was her Grandfather. The Hazel who sent the snap shot above is pictured with her six sisters. She is the one to the right and it appears that two of them are in the photo at the top of the page. These seven girls are the daughters of John & Clara Harkrader. Gurtha is the second from the left. Pauline asks, - is John T. a son of James?
	The ad to the left appeared in the 1918 Bronaugh Journal. Arcadia is just across the state line southwest of Bronaugh (10 miles or so).
	This obituary from the March 9, 1927 Bronaugh Journal is for L. P. Harkreader. It tells that he had married Amy Downs on December 16, 1885 and they had two children, Frank and Hallie. He was buried at Deepwood Cemetery in Nevada.
