(From the 1883 History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, by J. H. Keatley, p.30, Council Bluffs)
H. W. Hart, Physician, Council Bluffs, is one of the pioneers of that class of physicians who stand at the head of the profession in the city. He is a native of Chenango County, N. Y.; received his literary education at Geneva, and graduated from the Geneva Medical College in 1846. He spent one year in practice in Bath, of his native State, and then went to Rock County, Wis., where he practiced three years. His next move was to West Union, Fayette Co., Iowa, where he remained until the breaking-out of the war of the rebellion, when he entered the army as a Surgeon. His service was with the Ninth and Thirty-eighth Regiments of Iowa Infantry, Thirteenth Army Corps. Returning from the war, he spent a short time in Dubuque, Iowa, from which place he came to Council Bluffs in May of 1868. He opened an office within a short time after his arrival, and has been steadily engaged in practice since. He is a member of the Council Bluffs Medical Society, State Medical Society and of the American Medical Association. For the past ten years, he has been Commissioner of Insanity of the Council Bluffs district, and he is at present filling the office of County and City Physician. The Doctor is a member of the Congregational Church, and is a member of the best society of the city, as well as maintaining his position among the first of his profession.
