Amos Lawson Hardy (1860-1935)

According to A.L. Hardy's Death certificate he was born 4th of October 1859 to the parents of Eliza & Stephen Hardy in Shelburne Co. Mr. Hardy past away on 2nd of October 1935 in Kentville and was laid to rest on 5th of October in Oak Grove[1].

Official Photographer of the DAR probably from at least 1897 to 1935. Both dates are speculation but based on the fact that Hardy was the photographer for the early "Land of Evangeline" photo booklets (1897, 1903) establishing a relationship early on with the railway and that Hardy's death was in 1935. The designation of "Offical Photographer" is not speculation however and can be found identifying at least a handful of photos taken by Hardy in the service of the DAR.

"Hardy was attempting to develop business in the New England states at a time when the Dominion Atlantic Railway and the government were really promoting tourist travel from the U. S. to Nova Scotia. Hardy's work became recognized and his photographs were not only in publications of his own such as "The Evangeline Land", 1902, but also in railway promotional literature, and were sought after from Yarmouth to Halifax."[2]

After Hardy's death in 1935, his business was purchased soon after by the Windsor photographer H. H. Reid.[3]
