The floral offerings were many and very beautiful and bore a splendid tribute to the departed for Mr. Hart was a man held in high esteem by friends and neighbors. It can be truthfully said that he was one of our pioneers, coming to this country when it was new and he certainly did his part in no small way toward its development. He was successful, he raised a large family and raised them well, he acquired a goodly amount of this world's good and he was an upright citizen. The last rites were attended by a very large crowd, the church being too small to accommodate all who came. His remains were laid to rest in the Essex Cemetery.

H630 Hart, John, 77, b 12 Jul -- Sweden; d Ex, heart. SP 21 Apr 1914, SP 14 Apr 1914 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 1880s 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 rich land of Page County, for as his financial resources had improved he had added to his original holdings, becoming one 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.
