"Hardaway's New Berlin connection was life long. After his father's death circa 1840, his mother, Mary Ann Chatfield Hardaway, remarried Pittsfield's Jesse Beardslee whose own wife, Adaline Angell Beardslee, had died in 1843. The young Hardaway grew up in a large household, with his step brother, Augustus ("Gust") Beardslee and his younger half brother, Nathan Summers ("Sommers") Beardslee.

Cyrus Hardaway's subsequent years are shrouded in some mystery. Two letters from him to Augustus Beardslee's wife, Caroline Abigail Moore Beardslee, provide evidence that in 1891 he was married (Delia White sic), lived in Washington, D.C., and worked for the USA Department of Census.
Hardaway maintained an interest in his family, friends, and the affairs of Pittsfield and New Berlin throughout his life until his death in 1910. His mother, Mary Ann Chatfield Hardaway Beardslee, died on June 17, 1885; her husband, Cyrus Hardaway's step-father, Jesse Beardslee died in 1878. Augustus Beardslee, Hardaway's step-brother and always referred to in Hardaway's letters as "Gust," died in 1881. Augustus's wife, Caroline Abigail Moore Beardslee, whom Hardaway teasingly referred to in his Civil War letters, as "Betsy Jane," lived until 1900.

All of these persons, united by family or marriage, are buried in St. Andrew's Cemetery in New Berlin, New York. As close as they were in life, they are as close in death. Their communal burial site can be located by walking straight west from the South Main street entrance of St Andrew's cemetery. Proceed up the hill behind the cemetery vault and locate a large cedar tree. Hardaway and his family and friends are buried within feet of each other."
