Notes for THOMAS A HARTNESS: THOMAS A. HARTNESS: b. c 1845 son of Silas and Catherine Hartness. Enlisted in Co. D, 70th Regiment July 1, 1864. Applied for pension after 1901 from Alexander County then from McDowell County. From The Landmark, December 25, 1910: MAY GO TO STATE HOSPITAL Tom Hartness in Trouble Again and They'll Try to Send Him to Morganton: Thomas A. Hartness, a unique character from Alexander County who has spent much of his time in Statesville and vicinity recently, will be placed in the State Hospital at Morganton if the present plans of the officers are carried out. While Hartness has been considered mentally unbalanced for years, his condition has never been desperate and he is generally regarded as harmless. He has a surplus of sense along some lines, and being rather witty he has furnished much amusement in those who cared to talk to him and hear his exaggerated and visionary statements. He has always been a rather "privileged character" and seems to have a "Hankering" after picking up things that did not belong to him. It was this failing that has brought him into the limelight which may result in his being sent to the State Hospital. Hartness spent Tuesday night - or a portion of it - at the home of his cousin, J. F. Hartness, some miles north of Statesville, and Wednesday, J. F. Hartness came to town and swore out a warrant for Thomas A. charging the latter with taking from his home a watch, a pair of glasses, a lantern, and other articles. When the case came to trial before Justice Turner it was decided that Thomas A. Hartness was not responsible for is actions and was a fit subject for the State Hospital. He was accordingly placed in jail and yesterday two physicians made affidavit as to his condition and official application for his entrance to the State Hospital was filed. Some of things Hartness said when he learned that he was about to be sent to Morganton would make interesting reading if they could be published. He has requested that a certain man be deputized to take him to the Hospital and he says he will guarantee that if this is done he will prove to the Hospital authorities that he has the most sense of the two and that the other fellow will be placed in the Hospital in his stead. The officers say there is a good case of larceny against Hartness; that the charges preferred by his cousin can to a certain extent be sustained. The Landmark, December 30, 1910: Thomas A. Hartness, whose case was mentioned last week, was taken to the State Hospital Monday by Deputy Sheriff H. L. Gilbert. Thomas went quietly but he protested to the Hospital authorities that he is mentally sound. |
