--J. A. Hart, of Varco, died last week Thursday, of consumption. He has been a sufferer from this slowly wasting, yet surely fatal disease, for several years.
He was a man of many moral excellencies and highly respected by his many friends. He leaves behind a wife and five children, one son and four daughters. Funeral exercises were conducted by Rev. Spafford last Sunday at Enterprise school-house.
A short outline of the life of the deceased may interest our readers: J. Allen Hart was born in the town of Clayton, Jefferson county, N. Y., Sept. 9th, 1847; removed to Sheboygan county, Wis., in May, 1856, and again to Steele county, Minnesota, in September, 1862. In August, 1864, he enlisted in the service of the U. S., in the 11th regiment Minnesota volunteers; was honorably discharged the following July, 1865. Married Miss Ama (sic) H. Varco of Austin township, this county, Feb. 16th, 1868. He was one of a family of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, of whom there are now living four boys and one girl.
A large circle of friends extend heartfelt sympathy to the deeply afflicted widow and fatherless children.
