Don’t Stop Asking

Matthew 7:7-11; Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asks, receives, and he that seeks, finds, and he that knocks, it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

Hardy and Howard O’Neal

Hardy and Howard O’Neal

There are many brothers and sets of twins in northeast Texas today who bear the first names Hardy and Howard. Some don’t know how they came to be so called except that the names were passed down from older generations. It all started with two of Cass County’s most respected citizens, the brothers Hardy and Howard O’Neal. Their father, Henry Francis O’Neal, ran away from a private school in Mississippi at the age of sixteen and joined the American army that was about to invade Mexico. Following that service he moved from Mississippi to Harrison county, Texas, and married Melantha Cooley. Their son Hardy was born in 1851.
