To the Memory of L. D. Hart.

After a long and painful illness, we are called upon to chronicle the death
of L. D. Hart, which occurred at the family residence in Josephine county,
Sept. 23, 1884.

Mr. Hart was born in Onondago county, N. Y., Jan. 9, 1824. In 1836 he moved
with his father, R. Hart, to Michigan, where he married Miss H. L. Fuller,
May 4, 1847, and remained in Michigan until 1854, when they moved to
Oregon, becoming one of the early settlers in Josephine county. He engaged
in farming, a pursuit he followed up to the time of his death. In 1865 he
returned with his family to Michigan, to care for his parents in their
declining years, with whom he remained until they were called away to their
heavenly home. After duty was done there his heart longed for the sunny
clime of Oregon; hence, in 1873, he returned with his family to the
peaceful shores of the Pacific, where he remained until called upon to
answer the summons of "He who doeth all things well." Mr. Hart's sufferings
were intense for months, yet he bore them with the peaceful resignation and
patience of the true and noble Christian which he was. He leaves a widow
and five children to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and a kind and
affectionate father. May he rest in peace.   A. M. D.
