  Obituary	Mr. Hardwick Succumbed to Protracted Illness Tuesday Morning Was In 89th Year William Henry Hardwick, a life long citizen of Carroll county, passed away in Wakenda Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, after a protracted illness of many months. This native son of Carroll county was amongst the oldest, if not the oldest native born citizen in the county. He was in his 89th year. Thomas Hardwick, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Virginia, and came to this county after residing for a short time in Adair county, Ky. Being among the first settlers here he had to go to adjoining counties to get enough men to raise a house. He built what is known as the "Hardwick mill" on Wakenda creek. Wm. H. was the oldest son and fourth child of Thomas Hardwick and was born in this county December 25, 1834, in Eugene township. In 1850 he went to California in company with his father where he resided about two years. Returning to this county he permanently located and engaged in farming. The deceased served in Captain Cary's company, Hale's regiment of militia during the civil war. At the age of 18 in the year 1853, W. H. Hardwick married Miss Sarah Bricken and was the father of 12 children, 6 of whom died either in infancy or before reaching the age of maturity. Charles one of his sons died about six years ago. The wife also preceded the husband in death many years. The surviving children James, Miss Rena of the home address, Mrs. D. L. Thomas of Wakenda, Mrs. J. H. Gray of DeWitt and Mrs. S. R. Arterburn of this city. These combined with many other relatives and friends are left to mourn the going of this highly respected person. As a farmer, Mr. Hardwick, was prosperous and successful. He owned many acres of land in Eugene Twp. At one time he also had one of the choicest orchards in the county. Thru the long years of toil and labor, he established a reputation of being one of the leaders in his community and reluctantly gave advice to those seeking it on hard questions. His long associations with the out door life and the hard toil of pioneer life developed a constitution sufficiently strong to carry this aged citizen the 89th milestone. He served his day and in doing so left a name that will long stand for this one leader in the agriculture pursuit. In early life Mr. Hardwick became a member of the Methodist church. After professing the faith he adherd to the principles and doctrine of his church and was during his active life, one of the leaders in this work. Thus the life of another Carroll county pioneer has come to a close. One by one they pass on, but their work in settling Carroll county and starting it on its upward climb will always be referred to and held with reverence by those who have studied and realize the conditions that existed in those days. Mr. Hardwick was well known and liked and will be missed by a circle of citizens. Source: Carrollton Democrat, August 10, 1923
