 |
Herbert James Hardie
|
Business manager.
Born in Ontario on 21 June 1869, his parents died at an early age and his childhood was spent with an aunt and uncle at Tilsonburg, Ontario. On 25 December 1892, he married Nellie Irene Becker and, soon after, they moved to Winnipeg where he found work as an accountant with the Manitoba Free Press. Six years later, he joined the Toronto Type Foundry Company, succeeding John C. Crome as Manager. He held the position until his death.
He had six children: Techa Irene Hardie (1894-?), Marion Lucille Hardie (1898-1933), James Leonard Hardie (1898-1901), Jean Evelyn Hardie (1900-?), Nellie Becker Hardie (1904-?), and Edith Leonore Hardie (1907-?, daughter-in-law of Chester David Stovel). He was a member of the Winnipeg Press Club, Graphic Arts Association, Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, Carleton Club, and Fort Rouge United Church.
He died at his Winnipeg home, 999 Grosvenor Avenue, on 6 May 1933 and was buried in St. John’s Cemetery.
