ISAAC L. HART, the founder of the pioneer and most influential journal in Pipestone county, the Pipestone County Star, has for thirty-two years been connected with the paper as publisher. He was one of the very first business men to identify himself with the little prairie hamlet of Pipestone, and ever since the first year of its existence has made of the Star an
agency that has labored without respite for the advancement of city and county along every worthy line of growth.
A native of New York city, the birth of Isaac L. Hart occurred on the ninth of August, 1843. He is the son ol Elijah and Margaret (Stanton) Hart, both of whom came from old families of the Empire state. In l850 the Harts departed from the American metropolis to seek a home in the young but vigorous city of Chicago. The journalistic spirit was first engendered
within the youthful Isaac L. Hart in the office of the Chicago Times in 1853, where his first duties wore those of office boy. He was in the course of several years identified with several of the other well- known early papers of Chicago, and from his experience he recalls many interesting and amusing anecdotes of Chicago's early day newspapers, when they were printed
on the old style presses and the mechanical departments were crudely equipped.
The great sectional struggle came on and the best blood of the nation was called upon for a sacrifice that the union might be preserved. On August 7, 1862, Mr. Hart enlisted in company C, Seventy-second Illinois infantry, and served in that command until 1864. In the two years of army service he participated in a number of the memorable engagements of Grant's army in the southwest, up to and including the battles and siege of Vicksburg. After the siege of Vicksburg the Seventy-second llinois was sent to Natchez, Mississippi, and in 1864 Mr. Hart was mustered from the military service to accept a clerkship in the government custom house at Natchez, which place he held for a little over a year.
At the conclusion of his term of government service our subject returned to Chicago, where he continued to reside until 1870. In that year Mr. Hart moved to Eldora, Iowa, in which town he published the Herald, a paper he conducted until the commencement of his career in Pipestone county. The Star was established in June, 1870, and has since continued under the same management. During the blizzardy winter of 1880-81, when Pipestone was shut off from intercourse with the outside world for eighty days, the Star never missed an issue, but appeared sometimes on brown wrapping paper, at other times on wall paper-anything that was most convenient. For a number of years the Star published a daily issue, but now is a semi-weekly and is one of the influential publications of southern Minnesota.
During his long residence in the county Mr. Hart has given unselfishly of his time and talent to the end of a greater and better Pipestone county. He was the first judge of probate, having been elected to the office in 1879 and having served one term. He is widely known in the Masonic circles of the state, and is a past grand high priest of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Mr. Hart is a charter member of Quarry Lodge No. 148, A. F. & A. M., Triune Chapter No. 51, R. A. M., and Hope Lodge No. 89, I.O.O.F. in all of which he has held the highest stations. Of Simon Mix Post No. 95, G. A. R., he is an ex-post commander.
On May 4, 1865, Isaac L. Hart was married to Mary E. Gardner, of Chicago, the daughter of Charles and Ellen Gardner. To this union have been born the following six children; Gardner E., a newspaper man of San Diego, California; Lillian G. (Mrs. L. H. Dibble), of Faribault, Minnesota; Mabel G, (Mrs. George W. Smith), of Coffeyville, Kansas; Charles G., Ralph G., the editor of the Star; and Kittie G.
