NEHEMIAH A. HART, farmer and stock-raiser, section I, Benton Township.
His father, Matillo Hart, settled in Washington Township, Wayne County, Iowa, in the year 1848, where he entered 160 acres of wild land from the Government.
The country was then mostly inhabited by Indians and wild animals, and at that time there were but two houses in the present limits of Wayne County.
The Harts were six miles distant from any habitation, and Indians were their most frequent visitors. Nehemiah A., our subject, was reared to manhood on a farm in this county, and educated in a rude log-cabin subscription school which was built by people of the county after his coming here.
He was united in marriage, December 24, 1863, to Miss Parmelia Cox, a daughter of George Cox who settled in this county in an early day, remaining here till his death. Seven children blessed this union, of whom six survive----
