CURTIS M. HART.
Curtis M. Hart, who has been a resident of Keokuk for three decades, is now serving as clerk of the district court of Lee countv. His birth occurred in Neosho, Newton county, Missouri, on the 28th of October, 1870, his parents being Samuel B. and Jennie P. (Neece) Hart, whose family numbered three sons. When very small he was taken to Morgan county, Illinois, by his parents, and from there to Charleston, Lee county, Iowa, in 1878, the father following the pro- fession of school teaching in this county. In 1884 the family took up their abode in Keokuk, where Samuel B. Hart died in August of the same year.
Curtis M. Hart received the major part of his scholastic training in the public schools of Keokuk, and the better and more practical part of his education as a printer on the Gate City and the Constitu- tion-Democrat. For a time he was an employe of the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy Railroad Company, but owing to the vacancy in the oflice of clerk of the district court, he was appointed to fill that position and has discharged his duties in an efficient and highly com-
mendable manner. He is the present democratic nominee for the office.
On the 27th of August, 1890, Mr. Hart was united in marriage to Miss Anna Dora Korschgen, by whom he has four children as follows: Elsie Dora, who is the wife of Ernest E. Robinson; H. Lloyd; Harold L. ; and Byron L. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the United Presbyterian church, of which he serves as trustee, while fraternally he is identified with the Masons, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Loyal Order of Moose and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Mr. Hart is widely known here, and his substantial qualities of manhood and of character have gained for him an enviable position in the regard of those with whom he has come in contact.
