   ALEXANDER HARDEN, a progressive and public-spirited citizen of his township,
is a native of Monroe County, Ind., his birth occurring in the year 1837. He is
a son of William and Elizabeth (Regains) Harden, who removed from Tennessee,
where they were born, to Indiana in 1834. Alexander passed his youth and early
manhood in assisting his parents on the home farm, and on the 6th of September,
1861, volunteered his service in the cause of his country. He was a member of
Company G, Thirty-first Indiana Volunteers, and at Pittsburg Landing, became
disabled, which resulted in his discharge December 6, 1862. Since that time he
has been employed in farming and prosecuting pension claims for disabled
soldiers. By industry, he has secured a farm of 105 1/2 acres, while his success
as a prosecutor of pension claims has procured him a large and constantly
increasing patronage. Mr. Harden is a Republican in politics, a member of the
Masonic fraternity and a member the Methodist Episcopal Church. His marriage
with Miss Mary E. Bennet was solemnized in 1863, and they are among the best of
Greene County's citizens.
