ALEXANDER HARDWICK was born November 10, 1842, in Clay Township, Morgan
County, Ind. His father, William Hardwick, was born in Tennessee in 1808,
and while he was quite young his parents moved with him to Kentucky. He
then went with them to Mooresville, at the age of fifteen, and in 1835
married Elizabeth Cox, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1815. She went to
Ohio with her parents in early youth, and thence to Morgan County. Here she
was married to William Hardwick, and they have been living in this county
ever since. Mr. Hardwick was of English-Scotch, and his wife of Irish-Dutch
descent. Alexander, their son, and our subject, was born and reared near
Centerton. His advantages for an education were limited, but he improved
such opportunities as he had, and thus acquired sufficient learning to
become a successful teacher. This profession he has followed for about ten
years. He has been for six years engaged in the flouring-mill and in the
grain business. For about two years he was engaged in the mercantile
business. Mr. Hardwick never aspired to any public office, but was elected
Trustee of the township in 1874, which position he resigned at the
expiration of the first year. He has been a member of the I. O. O. F.,
Martinsville, Lodge No. 274, since 1868. In 1860, he began to do business
for himself, and in March, 1868, married Eliza E., daughter of Joel and
Elizabeth Matthews. Joel was a son of Hiram, or Judge Matthews, as he is
commonly known. Elizabeth Rooker is a daughter of Wilson and Polly Rooker,
all old settlers of Morgan County, and have lived and are living near
Mooresville. Mr. Hardwick's present occupation is teaching, of which he is
seemingly fond.
