Hart, Hiram J "Dude" A Hardin County man, born before the Battle of Gettysburg was fought, is dead.  He was Hiram "Dude" Hart, 102 years old, who passed away wednesday evening, December 30, at the Lynnhurst Nursing Home, where he had been a patient a few days.  Before that, he was under treatment at Hardin Memorial Hospital.  Mr. Hart who spent most of his life in his native vicinity of Eastview, moved to Elizabethtown 17 years ago and lived alone in a small residence on Glendale Hill. Almost to the last, he retained a remarkable degree of physical and mentor vigor.  On the morning of his 100th birthday he walked two miles.   He frequently walked to downtown Elizabethtown.  However, in the last year, his eyesight failed to such an extent that he rarely left his small home.  There he sat on his front porch in the summer and by a small fire in a stove in the winter, for which he cut the wood himself.  He was a reader of The News well past his 100th birthday.  Probably his last trip away from his residence was when two friends took him to the Van Meter poling place, there to cast his vote in the Presidential election.  Mr. Hart said often that he had never failed to vote the straight Democratic ticket, and once in response to a question, and he attributed his long life to his party regularity.  When he approached the polling place last November, he was importuned by a young woman to cast his vote for one of the candidates for the county school board and he replaied, "All I want to do is vote the straight Democratic ticket." Mr Hart served several terms as constable in the Third District, where Eastview is located, and once it fell to his lot to arrest and bring to trial a man, later sold at the Court House door in Elizabethtown for vagrancy.  Mr. Hart remembered friends, both young and old, and he liked to talk about his Court House association with three former officials, Juge David Rider, Fuller Gross and Frank Corley.  Mr. Hart was a member of the White Mills Christian Church for 84 years.  His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Hart Sr.  He was the third of eight children.  His wife, formerly Miss Sarah Love, died in 1919, and he was never remarried.  He was the father of 10 children; of whom seven are living; Mrs. May Swartz and Mrs. Henrietta Snyder of Elizabethtown; Mrs Dinnie Richardson of New Albany; Mrs. Carrie Eggleton and Mrs Generose Smith, both of Louisville; two sons, Charles Hart of Louisville, and  Ed Hart, city; and 20 grandchildren.  Funeral and burial services were held Saturday afternoon at the Eastview Baptist Church and cemetery by Dr. V. C. Kruschwitz. source ELIZABETHTOWN NEWS OBITUARY – 01/05/1965, submitted by Frances Ede
