Notes: Tyson Nealy Hardy, also known as Tice, was born 22 October 1905 to William Thomas Hardy and Willie May Johnson in Chilton, Falls County, Texas. In 1924 Tice met and married Lillian Inez Betz. They had one son, Clarence Wendell Hardy, September 6th, 1925. He was accused of murder in 1926 after a tragic mishap between friends on a fishing trip at the Brazos River near Horseshoe Bend, Falls County, Texas. There are several newspaper articles on the case and at one point the father and brother of the young man that disappeared, shot at Tice in the court room. There has been nothing found about how the trial ended but it is assumed that without a body there wasn't much to go on for the prosecution. Tice took his family to Sweetwater, Texas where they had another son, Allen Ray Hardy, March 30th, 1930. In October 1934 Tyson met and married a young girl, Zada Latham, 19 years old of Big Springs, Texas. They had a baby girl, Wynona Mae Hardy born February 2, 1935. Tice moved to California and worked as a ranch hand. In 1939 he met Lora Mae (Meler) Jeter who was on a trip from New Mexico to California with her brother Tom. She was from Washita Oklahoma and they married in Yuma, Arizona then moved to New Mexico where Lora was a teacher. Tice registered for military in 1940 in New Mexico and worked in a defense plant. Tice and Lora moved to Ventura California and he worked in real-estate for 15 years. Tice suffered a series of strokes and died November 15th, 1981. Tyson and Lora share a headstone in Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura, Ventura County, California but she actually moved back to New Mexico after several medical issues and married Dean Hester in 1987. Dean had several strokes and in 1995 Lora's cancer returned and she died in 1997. Nealy married Lillian Inez Betz on 31 Jul 1924 in Chilton, Falls County, Texas.
