Cedartown Standard, January 28, 1904
Mr. Julius Hardwick, died Tuesday night of last week at his home in Cleveland, 
Tenn., after a protracted illness. He was for two years a resident of 
Cedartown, and won many friends during his stay here. After his return to 
Cleveland, he was united in marriage to one of Cedartown’s most popular and 
attractive young ladies, Miss Estelle Jones, who with two children survives the 
devoted husband and father. Mr. Harwick was a genial and popular young man and 
a host of friends in Cedartown join with those in Cleveland and elsewhere in 
offering to the bereaved families their sincerest sympathies. We clip from the 
Cleveland paper the mention below of Mr. Harwick and his death.__Julius 
Hardwick is dead. This was the sad news that spread rapidly over the little 
city of Cleveland Tuesday night. The Angel of Death called at 7:45 at the home 
of his aged mother on North Ocoec street, and this beloved young man is no 
more. A devoted wife, two loving children, an aged mother and four brothers 
survive him and mourn their loss bereavement shared by the entire community. 
Julius Holmes Hardwick, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Hardwick was born in 
this city, Dec. 4, 1872, and was therefore 31 years of age at the time of 
death. Practically all his life was spent in Cleveland, where the number of his 
friends far exceeded the number of his acquaintances. In both school and 
college deceased was studious and ambitious for the future, and throughout life 
the highest, ideals of manhood and citizenship were constantly before him. 
After leaving college Mr. Hardwick engaged in the banking business with his 
brothers at Cedartown, Ga., but in about two years he severed his connection 
with the bank and identified himself with the Cleveland Woolen Mills of this 
city, becoming secretary and treasurer, in which position he was eminently 
successful. In 1900 Mr. Hardwick was elected mayor, being the successor of his 
father in that office. No one ever filled the position more acceptably. In 
politics he was always a Democrat. In early life Mr. Hardwick identified 
himself with the Southern Methodist church, and a little over a year ago he 
renewed his membership under the ministrations of the Rev. George R. Stuart. He 
was also a member of Cleveland Lodge N.. 134, F & A. M., Cleveland Chapter and 
the Knights of Pythias. While in business at Cedartown, Ga. Mr. Hardwick became 
acquainted with Miss Estelle Jones, of that place who afterwards became his 
wife. They were united in marriage Oct. 23, 1895, and the union was blessed 
with two children, one daughter, Florine, aged 7, and a son, Richard Holmes, 
aged 4. The devoted wife ever watched constantly the bedside of her husband 
from the time he was taken with the illness that bore him from the scene of his 
earthly labors. It was not until last June that the tubercular trouble from 
which he suffered began to make its ravages felt so seriously that a change was 
deemed necessary. At that time health resorts and sanitariums in Wythville, 
Va., Baltimore, Md., Saranac Lake, N.Y. and Asheville N. C., were in turn 
visited, and among them the past six months were spent by this patient seeker 
after health. About two weeks ago Mr. Hardwick returned to this city, and it 
was known then that the end was near. And peacefully and in quiet submission to 
the Divine Will eternal rest came and the Angel of Death bore the spirit of 
Julius Hardwick to it eternal home.
