      James Lilburn Hardwick, 57 year old police officer, was stricken by a heart ailment Sunday while washing his automobile in the driveway of his home, 936 West Commerce avenue, and died en route to Samaritan hospital.

      Hardwick, a member of the department since Nov. 11, 1927, was a familiar figure to Capital Hill residents, where he walked one of the few remaining beats in the city, and directed traffic the last year. For many years prior to that his beat was on Reno and California avenues from Harvey to Santa Fe avenue.

      He was born Dec. 31, 1883, on a ranch in Marshall County. His father, Joseph Hardwick, was United States marshal here in territory days.

      Hardwick came to Oklahoma City before the run of '89 and worked at Wilson & Co. many years before being appointed to the old highway enforcement division of the state license bureau. He was a rate clerk and a guard at the state treasurer's office and served as a special officer at a bus station before joining the police department.

      Surviving, in addition to wife, Minnie, are a son, Lilburn Leo Hardwick, 3500 South Harvey avenue; a daughter, Betty Jo, of the home address, and a brother, Dave Hardwick, Port Angeles, Wash.

      Arrangements will be announced by the Capitol Hill funeral home.
