Goldie L Lang was born about 1892, daughter of Andrew Sylvester Lang and Lucille May Barcus. She was married to my great-grandfather, Floyd Barnes Hardin. They had 2 children: Oliver (Shady) Hardin and Vivian May Hardin Martin. I don't much about her, other than she left with another man shortly after Vivian's birth. When she divorced Floyd, he was granted custody of both children. I'm not sure of the reason, but this was extremely rare during that time.
Goldie (age 17) married Floyd Hardin (age 24) on 14 February 1911 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois.[1]
