AXEL HART DEAD
Though somewhat expected, the death of Axel Hart came as a severe shock to the people of Essex and community. Five weeks ago on Wednesday, while about his duties on the farm, he was kicked by a horse. Medical attention was given him at once and for several days he seemed to be getting along nicely. On the Wednesday night one week later, he was taken suddenly worse and the next morning was taken to Omaha where he entered a hospital for treatment. In his weakened condition the attending physicians thought best not to perform an operation until he became stronger. He rallied somewhat under the treatment and a few days ago submitted to an operation. The operation proved successful and he was getting along as well as could be expected and was very cheerful in the thought that he would soon be well again. Sunday a change for the worse came and his relatives were summoned to his bedside that evening. He passed away Tuesday night and the remains were brought to Essex Wednesday night and taken to the home east of Essex where they will keep it till Sunday when the funeral will be held at 10:00 AM at the house and 11 o'clock at the Fremont Mission Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. K. Forseman and interment had in Essex Cemetery.
Axel August Hart was born in Sweden, November 4, 1865 and at the time of death was 49 years, 11 months, and 8 days old. When yet a small boy he came with his parents to America, settling first in Illinois, where they remained only a short time, then in Montgomery County, Iowa, for a short time, then in Page County where he has since resided.
For a brief while Mr. Hart was in business in Essex, but concluded that he liked the farm better, and sold out, returning to the country, where he has made extensive improvements by the erection of a fine new home and only last fall he purchased the John O. Lindell farm, making him a farm of 378 acres.
Mr. Hart was one of a family of ten children, four brothers and five sisters left to mourn. They are Alfred and Oscar of Essex, Iowa, Joseph of Kansas, and Otto of California, Mrs. Alfred Skalberg, Mrs. Alfred Engster, and Tena of Essex, Iowa, Mrs. John Erickson of Nebraska, and Mrs. Chas Abraham of South Dakota. His aged mother, with the youngest daughter, lives in Essex, Iowa.
Mr. Hart was married April 26, 1890 to Miss Amanda Malmberg. To this union nine children were born, four of them preceding the father to the Great Beyond. The others who, with the wife, are left to mourn, are Alvin, age 22, Gertie, wife of Carl Renander; Chester, age 15, and the younger daughters, Millicent and Winifred.
His going is a hard blow to the family, to the aged mother, and to his many friends. The Independent joins with all Essex in expressions of sympathy to the bereaved ones.

AXEL HART TAKEN TO OMAHA
On Wednesday, September 8, 1915, Axel Hart in working around his horses received a very severe kick from one of them, the same striking him in the right side, breaking a couple of ribs. He was given medical attention at once and seemed to be getting along very nicely till Wednesday night he was taken suddenly ill and yesterday morning was taken to Omaha for an examination and operation. His condition when he left here was indeed very serious. He was accompanied to Omaha by Dr. Parriott, Mrs. Hart, and their oldest son and Alfred Engster. His many friends hope for the best.

page 174] Axel Hart. With the agricultural interest of Fremont township Axel Hart is closely associated, being engaged in the cultivation and improvement of two hundred and ten acres of land, which he purchased in 1902 and on which he has since lived. He was born in Sweden, November 4, 1865, and is a son of John and Clara Hart, who, like many other residents of this section of Page county, claim Sweden as the land of their nativity. The favorable reports which they heard concerning America proved to them an irresistible attraction and in 1868 they came to the United States, settling first in Henry county, Illinois. As they learned more of the new world they felt that they might have still better opportunities in Iowa and in 1870 removed to Montgomery county, this state, where they lived for about a decade. Early in the '80's they removed to Fremont township, Page county, and John Hart became the owner of the farm upon which his son Axel is now living. He diligently took up the work of bringing his fields under a high state of cultivation and was quite successful in his farming operations, at one time owning five hundred and twenty acres of the rich land of Page county, for as his financial resources had improved he had added to his original holdings, becoming one of the extensive and prosperous landowners of the community. This brought to him a handsome competence and in the spring of 1901 he retired from active life and removed to Essex, where he now resides.
The youthful days of Axel Hart were quietly passed, the public schools affording him his education privileges, while he was trained in the work of the farm under the direction of his father. After putting aside his textbooks he remained at home and assisted in the cultivation of his father's farm until the spring of 1889, when he started upon an independent business career, renting land. He was thus engaged in farming on his own account for fourteen years, during which time his industry and careful expenditure brought him sufficient capital to enable him to purchase land. In the spring of 1902, therefore, he purchased the old Hart homestead of two hundred and ten acres, to which he removed and upon which he has since lived. Something of his business ability and his thorough understanding of modern agricultural methods is indicated in the neat and thrifty appearance of the place. The fields are well tilled, the buildings are kept in good repair and high grades of stock are handled. He has been quite successful and all of the grain which he raises he feeds to his stock, now dealing quite extensively in cattle.
On the 27th of April, 1890, Mr Hart was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Malmberg of Fremont township, and unto this marriage five children have been born, all yet at home: Gertrude, Alvin, Chester, Millicent and Winifred. Mr and Mrs Hart are consistent Christian people, holding membership in the Swedish Mission church. In matters of citizenship he is public spirited and progressive and gives loyal support to whatever he believes to be right. He votes with the republican party and has served for several years as a member of the school board, being a stalwart champion of many measures that have been beneficial in promoting the interests of public education.
