This Labor Day, the Hardin County Clerk’s Office honors the incredible value of hard work, a core value that built our nation and continues to power our community.

This holiday holds personal meaning for Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith, who is sharing photos of his grandfather, Everett P. Smith, a dedicated steelworker for 29 years. Men and women like Everett embody the grit and perseverance that drive America forward.

To every worker in Hardin County and beyond: thank you for your dedication, strength, and contributions. Wishing you and your family a safe, restful, and Happy Labor Day!

While you won’t often catch Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith behind the counter issuing marriage licenses—thanks to our incredible team of deputy clerks who are true subject matter experts—he recently decided to brush up on his skills for a very special occasion!

Clerk Smith wanted to personally issue a marriage license to high school sweethearts Addison Williams and Camran McNeil. Addison works closely with the Clerk’s Office as a key part of our communications team, and Clerk Smith wanted to honor the couple as they take this exciting next step together.

Please join all of us at the Hardin County Clerk’s Office in wishing Addison and Camran a lifetime of love, laughter, and wedded bliss!

Why do we handle centuries-old documents with bare hands? In the second installment of "From the Archives," Clerk Brian D. Smith talks about the preservation science behind handling historic paper.

Cotton gloves obscure touch sensitivity and can easily snag delicate pages. Thoroughly washed, dry hands provide the control necessary to protect these records for the future.
