Tom each County History that was published in the 1880's has a large section knows as Biographical Sketches. You can purchase a copy of the 1880 Hardin County History from Higginson Press. You can find their URL on the Heritage Pursuit Web site. When you get to the site click on MUST SEE LINKS and then to Book Stores.
