I have the original newspaper clipping of the obituary for Mary Eliza Mansfield Baynor who married Ira May Hardy, for anyone who is interested. Obituary follows:

Funeral arrangements are incomplete but interment will be in Oakdale cemetery in Washington, N.C., with the Rev. Edwin F. Mosley, rector of St. Mary’s Church here officiating. Surviving in addition to her husband are one son, Jesse Hardy of Morehead City; three daughters, Mrs. David Jackson Cooper of Columbus, Ga., Mrs. Dempsey Hodges of Kinston and Mrs. Norwood Whitley of Stantonsburg; 13 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
