SAMUEL T. HARDISON, M. D., one of the leading practitioners of Lewisburg,
was born in Maury County, Tenn., February 13, 1841.  He was reared on a
farm and education in country schools.  At the age of nineteen he began the
study of medicine under his father and in 1860 he entered the Reform
Medical College, at Macon, Ga., where he took one course and then, in 1861
enlisted in Company G, Twenty-fourth Tennessee Infantry Confederate States
Army.  Early in 1862 he was promoted to a position in the medical
department of the army, serving in all four years.  In 1865 Dr. Hardison
began the practice of medicine at Lewisburg and has ever since continued in
that profession, graduation in 1877 from the medical department of the
University of Nashville.  He has also been interested in the drug business,
hardware trade, house building, livery business, planing-mill, and at
present is a director of the Bank of Lewisburg.  He has once been president
of Marshall County Medical Society, having been a member of that society
since its organization.  He has also filled the office of vice-president of
the Medical
Association of Tennessee.  Dr. Hardison was married in 1868 to Georgia
Davidson, daughter of Dr. I. S. Davidson, of Bedford County, Tenn., the
fruits of this union being seven children.  Both he and Mrs. Hardison are
members of the Christian Church.  Our subject is a relative of the American

Hardison, were natives of North Carolina; they were married in 1820, and
eleven children, four of whom are living, blessed their union.  The father
was a Jacksonian Democrat; he died in 1873.  The mother died in 1884.
