In 1853, Hardy's parents had taken a 'shortcut' through eastern Oregon in order to not have to tackle the Columbia River. Near the time of Hardy's birth, the wagon train was "... in a pickle. No trail, no guide, winter coming on, and provisions scarce." The wagon train was headed in the direction of Three Sisters. "Our cattle were dying, wagons were breaking down, and the only provisions were beef from our poor cattle, a few crackers, and a little flour.... Imagine our situation: camped in an uninhabited, untravelled desert, with winter nearly upon us, without water, nearly without food, and no teams to take us away." While out looking for runaway horses and cattle, the menfolk stumbled upon the Deschutes River which solved some of the water problem. When they returned to camp, l'l Hardy had just been born. His father, Hanks Hill, stated "... there lay the little stranger as contented as if on a bed of down in a cozy house. We then and there named him "Hardy". Hardy was born in the general area of "Farewell Bend", today known as "Bend". Information provided by Find A Grave Volunteer J. D. Larimore.
