Mr. Hardwick was a graduate of Beardstown High School and attended the University of Illinois at Champaign. Following his service with the US Army Air Corps during WW II, he returned to Cass County to build a successful farming operation in the Philadelphia township area.

Sam was a member of the Virginia United Methodist Church, Virginia Lodge #544 AF & AM, and a former member of the Virginia Kiwanis Club. An avid reader, he was rarely seen without a book determined to continue his lifelong passion for learning. His hobby led him to serve several years as president of the Virginia Memorial Public Library board. His quest for learning also led him to travel the world extensively all the while relating the foreign visits with his interest in history. It was equally important that he share this love of history and travel with Barbara, his wife of 62 years, his children, and his grandchildren. He valued time spent with his family and they will greatly miss him.
