John Franklin Hardesty was born December 30, 1887, in Winfield, Lincoln County,
Missouri, to Benjamin Franklin and Evaline Frances (Overall) Hardesty. He earned a bachelor of
science and doctorate of medicine degree from St. Louis University in 1914. In June 1917, he
entered the U.S. Army Medical Corps and volunteered to serve as a surgeon with the British
Army during World War I. He transferred to the 51st Division of the British Army, or the
“Seaforth Highlanders,” and was captured at Amiens in March 1918. He was imprisoned at
Ratstatt and Villingen Prisoner of War camps for eight months. After his release, he returned
home and returned to private medical practice and was considered one of the foremost
ophthalmologists in the country. He was a specialist in diagnosis and treatment of the eye and
became an instructor, later department chair, of ophthalmology at St. Louis University. He
married Lucille Hetzel in September 1927, and later married Lena Lou Dahl in October 1937. He
died June 20, 1953, in St. Louis.
The collection consists primarily of correspondence, military records, diaries, photographs,
newspaper clippings, journal articles and other types of material that document his medical
career and his military experiences, including his time as a prisoner of war at Villingen prison
camp in Germany. The collection includes correspondence from Henry Pinckney McCain and

folder of papers regarding Edouard Victor Michel Isaacs (Izac), who was imprisoned with
