was born in Danville in 1838. While a boy his father, William F. Hamrick, moved to Marion township where our subject lived until he enlisted under the first call for troops. He was not accepted but in July '61 the company was reorganized in the 21st Indiana with Mr. Hamrick as First Lieutenant. This regiment immediately entered into active and severe service. In '62 Lieut. Hamrick was made Captain Hamrick. He was afterwards honorably discharged on account of physical disability but not before he had been recommended for promotion to Major. After his discharge he farmed until about three years ago when he became a hardware merchant in Danville. He has been a Republican since the organization of the party and has always been considered one of the strong men of the party.
