Ersie Hart was born in Bloomfield township, Winneshiek county, Iowa. Died at Spencer, Iowa, May 30, 1905, after an illness of a little over two weeks. Ersie had always lived with his parents here until about three years ago when he accepted a position with the C., M. & St. Ry Co. as operator. During that time he filled several important positions and was finally given a position at Spenser about two years ago. The officials of the road speak in the highest terms of his moral character and his strict adherence to business. He was very popular among all with whom he came in contact and had made many friends, all of whom deplore his death when his future seemed so bright. When at home he had the welfare of his parents at heart and was ever ready to do anything for their comfort and happiness. The body was accompanied here by a delegation of six members of the K. P. lodge of Spencer of which he was an honored member. The funeral occurred from the U. B. church Thursday, June 1, at 2 p. m., the Rev. Montgomery officiating. Notwithstanding the fact that many were not at home that day, the church was filled to the doors. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful; many beautiful designs being furnished by the members of the K. P. lodge, the O. R. T, and the station agents, besides many from private sources. The body was interred at Fairview cemetery. The friends of the deceased surely have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their hour of sad affliction. Among the lodge delegates from Spencer was Mr. F. H. Hinton, a former station agent here on the C., M. & St. P. Railway..

Transcriber’s Note: Gravestone Photos shows he is buried at Pleasant View Cemetery and was born in 1883.
