Survives Many Battles of '65 - Reaches Ninety
John Wesley Hart, age 90 years and 10 days, died suddenly at the home of his son, William Hart, on So. Oak street, in Hillsboro, at noon on Saturday.
The deceased had been an invalid and bedfast at the home of his son for the past four years, during which time he suffered from heart trouble which threatened to result in his death at any moment.
The deceased was born July 29, 1835 in Lawrence county, Indiana where he lived until he was about eight years old, when his parents moved to New Albany, Indiana where he grew to manhood.
On November 18, 1860, the deceased was united in marriage with Miss Annie S.(Amy) Stamford, who died March 18, 1875. One daughter and four boys were born to this union but only two of these survive their father, namely, William Hart of Hillsboro and Robert Hart of Mt. Carmel, Ill.
After the death of his first wife the deceased was united in marriage with Mrs. Elizabeth Oglesby and two children G. C. Hart of Fisher, Ark and Mrs. Elizabeth Lewallen of Okmulgee, Okla. survive. The mother of these children died shortly before Mr. Hart came to Hillsboro four years ago to make his home.
At the beginning of the war the deceased lived for many years in the vicinity of Mt. Carmel. He also spend several years in Missouri, Arkansas and other states. He was a timber man by trade and a man of remarkable strength and vigor. He retained his mental alertness almost to the very end and on Saturday morning he conversed with his son and daughter-in-law with whom he made his home and both of whom are totally blind.
The deceased drew a pension of $72 per month since coming to Hillsboro, owing to his advanced age. He had a splendid war record, as he enlisted at the beginning of the war, served until discharged because of injuries received in service and re-enlisting as soon as he was physically able to return to the front. Even during the few months he remained home he was actively engaged securing recruits. After re-enlisting for service he remained in the army until the close of the war.
The funeral of the deceased was held Sunday at 3 o'clock PM at the Baptist church in Hillsboro, Rev G. E. Milford officiating and the remains were buried at Oak Grove cemetery in this city.
