Funeral services were held Monday from the Gesche Funeral Home, Neillsville, for Harry Hart, 89, who passed away after a brief illness last Friday, February 9, in the Neillsville Memorial Hospital. The burial was made in the Town of Mentor Cemetery, with the Rev. Alvin Ebert, pastor of the Humbird United Methodist Church, officiating.

Mr. Hart was born in Canada to Norman and Mary (Gaffield) Hart on September 28, 1889. He moved with his parents to the Humbird area while still young and received his education there, graduating from Humbird High School. Post high school studies included graduation from UW-Madison.

After college studies, he returned to Humbird and farmed until 1943 when he worked for the old Wisconsin Conservation Department for several years. He later was a vocational agriculture teacher in Humbird and Alma Center for three years. On March 4, 1967, Hart married Rose Bryner in Monticello ceremonies. He then worked on his son’s farm until retirement in 1971.

Hart is survived by his wife; one son, Harold, Humbird; one daughter, Mrs. Angus (Verna) Flood, also of Humbird; two sisters, Mrs. Ivis Walsh of South Bend, Ind., and Mrs. Arnold (Alice) Lambert of Sedona, Ariz.; nine grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson.
