Hartung / Harding in Kentucky
I am looking for any information that may be available with regard to the Hartung family in the Louisville (Jefferson County), Kentucky area.There was an Edward Francis Hartung (Harding) b. 1875 and d. 1950 who had 3 sisters (Margaret who married a Mr. Mayhall, Anna who married a Mr. Miller and then moved to Philadelphia, and UNKNOWN who married a Thomas Meany) and 4 brothers (Henry, William, John, and Joseph).At some point, there was some sort of rife / feud that split the family and some switched their last name to Harding.Of course, that would also have been about the same time as WW I, so changing your name from German to English was a generally good idea.I know that Henry kept the name Hartung and I believe he married somebody with first name of Mary.The only other information that I have is that the Edward Francis Hartung (Harding) married an Anna Bauer from (I believe) Jasper, Indiana.She lived from 1885 to 1979.That is about all of the information that I have.Would appreciate any knowledge that someone can spare.
