Bio
WILLIAM H. HARDIN, farmer, Section 21, P. O. Huron, is a native of Pennsylvania, born in Fayette County, February 18, 1825. When eight years of age, his place of abode was changed to Butler County, Ohio. Here he lived until 1853, when he removed to Buchanan County, Mo., and two years later came to Kansas. His first settlement here was on South Wolf River in Brown County, where he took up a claim, on which he lived up to 1858. Then sold out and went to Colorado, and engaged in mining, but returned to Kansas the same year, and located permanently in Atchison County. Mr. Harden took part in the late war, enlisting in 1862 with Company D, of the Thirteenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry. After serving two years and four months, he was discharged on account of poor health contracted while in the service of his country. Then returned to his home in Kansas, where he now has a fine farm of 350 acres, and is also extensively engaged in stock-raising. Mr. Harden's wife is a daughter of Eli Watson, who was one of the pioneers of Kansas. They were married February 7, 1860, in Atchison County, her name Mary C. Both are original members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. They are the parents of four sons and a daughter.
