Obituary
Written By George and Pervilla Hart
LUCIUS WILLIAM HART was born in Glastonbury, Conn., October 28, 1827, and died at the home of his sister, Mrs. F. B. Drake, in Otho, Iowa, September 27, 1915, at the age of eighty seven years and eleven months, lacking one day. Between the above dates a noble life was lived, the biography of which the master has written in the book of Life. We will only record a few facts in this brief sketch. The real life can never be written with an earthly pen. In 1834 Deacon Norman Hart and his wife , Marcia (Hale) Hart with their three children, Norman H., Lucius W. and Caroline E., drove from Connecticut to Adams County, Illinois, being six weeks on the road. The Hart family lived in Adams and Hancock counties for ten years. George D. Hart was born in Adams county. In 1844 the family moved to Kane county, Ill. Lucius obtained a good common school education; worked at home with his father on the farm mostly, sometimes in the sawmill driving the big wheel. On May 1, 1851, he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Livingston of Big Rock, Illinois. To this union four children were born: Dewitt Clinton who died near Kalo in 1889, baby Carlton who died during their trip to Iowa and is now buried on the east bank of the Boone river about three miles below the present site of Webster City, Cora the wife of Frank R. Payne of Milwaukee, Wis. Both his daughters survive him, also eighteen grandchildren and twenty great-grand-children, his brother George and sister Caroline. His brother Norman died in 1908. In 1854 the Hart families came to Otho township, Webster county, Iowa, where they still live, only those whom death has claimed and who live 'Over Yonder,' but their influence is still here. Lucius Hart was converted early in life. He, with his father and mother, his brother Norman and sister Caroline, constituted the Charter members of the Otho Congregational church, which was organized March 13, 1855. Mrs. Hart died twenty eight years ago. Since that time Mr. Hart has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Frank R. Payne, and spending his summers in Otho for several years past with his sister Mrs. Drake. His health had been failing all summer. Dropsy and its complications held him in its grip, but he was patient through all, and was able to sit up every day. On the night of the twenty seventh he went to supper in his wheel chair as usual. After supper his brothers him undress, and as his head pressed the pillow the Kind Master took him home in the twinkling of an eye, and was 'Asleep in Jesus.' He was buried from the Otho Congregational church September 30, 1915. Services were conducted by Rev. Fawkes and Rev. Duncan. The floral tributes were many. The hymns seemed to have been written for him alone--'How Firm a Foundation,' 'It is Well With HIS Soul' and 'Deliverance Will Come.' Interment was made by the side of his wife in Otho Cemetery.
Son of Norman Hart and Marcia (Hale) Hart. He married Catherine Livingston 1 May 1851. They had four children: Dewitt Clinton, Carlton, Cora Almira, and Carrie Hart.
