A few years later William came to Warren County and he has spent the remainder of his life in and near Carlisle, where he has been engaged in the occupation of farming.

For a number of years, Mr. Hardin was a member of the United Brethren Church of Carlisle, but about the year 1909 he and his wife transferred their membership to the Carlisle Methodist Church, where he still remained a member. At one time he served as a member of the Official Board of this church. Mr. Hardin has been in failing health for the past two years and everything was done by his family for his care and comfort.
