You were my maternal grandfather's step dad. He told us of how wonderful you were. He mentioned watching the murderer hanged in ft madison. Thank you for your services and heroism.

Mr. Hart was my Grandfather's (Larry Cornic's) Step-Father. He told me this sad story, and actually attended the execution of the defendant. RIP Mr. Hart. Gone but not forgotten.

Robert Alan Hart was my Grandmother's brother. My Grandmother was Bessie G Hart King who died in 1980. I remember my mom telling me the story of my Grandma suddenly rushed my mom into the house for the night. Mom thought it was strange for it was pretty early in the evening. Soon, someone can knocking on the door. The visitor informed my grandma of her brother being hurt and does she want him to take her to the hospital. She replied, "it's too late". It was felt that she had a sixth sense, but kept it to herself, for being a Preacher's wife.
