Text:
Henry Clarke Hardy, youngest child of Rev. Edward and Lydia (White-Bray) Hardy, was born November 10, 1826, in Currituck, North Carolina, and was deprived of his father by death when eleven years old.
Very early in life he went to Norfolk, Virginia, and became a clerk with Hardy Brothers, a firm consisting of his two eldest half-brothers, who were shipowners and merchants engaged in the West India trade. He received some schooling in North Carolina and also in Norfolk. Soon after attaining manhood, he removed to Petersburg where he became a merchant, and where in later years (about 1890) he was for some time cashier of the Petersburg Savings and insurance Company.
In 1859 he moved to Newark, New Jersey, and established in New York the firm of H. C. Hardy & Company in association with his brothers' firm of Hardy & Brothers, of Norfolk, Virginia. He returned to Norfolk, Virginia, and in
1870-71 was president of the Farmers and Merchants Loan and Trust Company of that city. Returning to New York, he became a member of the New York Stock Exchange and of the Consolidated Stock and Produce Exchanges, and conducted a very successful business as banker and broker, residing in Brooklyn. He later became cashier of the Petersburg Savings and Insurance Company, referred to above, retired in 1900, and died at Hamilton, New York, July 24, 1912.
During the civil war he acted as agent for the state of North Carolina in caring for southern soldiers held prisoners in the north. He was highly esteemed for his upright character and many personal and social virtues. For many years he was vestryman of St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal Church, of Brooklyn, New York. He was a member of the Union League Club in New York. Politically he was independent of party organizations.
