Jeremiah (Jere) Jackson Hart's name is on a gravestone in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas (8184758). It was intended that he would be buried there when his wife was buried there, but he contracted Hansen's Disease (leprosy) and was committed for life to the leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana.
The disease at that time was thought very contagious and people who had it were quarantined, usually for life, from the rest of the population.
