After John Benjamin Hardwicke, in company with his mother and his wife and their two children, took his first sea bath at the Nat last Thursday morning about seven o'clock, he merrily climbed the tower stairway because his boys desired to see him shoot the chutes. At the top of the flight he suddenly groaned and fell backward against Thos. Allen who was immediately behind, carrying up the sled, and both of them tumbled into the bay. Captain Allen at once raised the stricken man's head out of the water, but death, caused by apoplexy, had been instantaneous. The funeral took place that afternoon. The deceased was born at Fayetteville, N.C., Sep. 6, 1865, and had lived here fourteen years. He published the Texas Sun, a local weekly, and was local correspondent for a number of papers. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. J. B. Hardwicke, Sr., by his wife and two handsome little sons, in this city. S. P. and A. S. Hardwicke of Abilene are his brothers. Mrs. P. V. Pennybacker of Austin and Mrs. T. T. Holoway of Dallas are his sisters. Mr. Hardwicke's health had been very poor for a long time but he had shown improvement during the last few days and he had expected to go to his office after breakfast on the morning he was so suddenly called to the reward of one who had many admirable traits and whose final conscious act was an effort to amuse a little child.
