General Notes: Husband - Edwin Anderson Hart


He was born in Shousetown, Crescent township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. When two years of age, his parents moved to Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and in these two places, Allegheny and Shousetown, he passed his childhood and youth, attending the local public schools for his education. After completing this he began the active business of life by securing employment in Bevington's brick yard at Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, where he learned the business, and where he continued to work for a period of seven years. He then found employment as a structural iron worker and did work for several companies along the river, and later took up work as a carpenter. He secured employment in this capacity with the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad and eventually became a foreman of carpenters. Some time ago Mr. Hart bought out the other heirs of his mother's place and made it his home, but later he sold it and built a fine house for himself at Wireton, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. This was in the year 1896, but by 1913 he was living with his family on the old Captain William B. Anderson homestead, a fine farm of three hundred and seventy acres, situated above Anderson Road Station.
Mr. Hart was vitally interested in politics and the affairs of his neighborhood, a member of the Democratic party, he served his fellow citizens as school director, as town clerk for six years and as town commissioner. He was also a director of the Grove City Home beginning from its erection in 1901. He was a member of the I. P. Dunlap Lodge, No. 546, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Hart was also active in work of his church. He and his family were members of the Presbyterian Church in Shousetown and he was at different times treasurer of the church and president of the board of trustees, holding each office for a number of years. He was also for two years superintendent of the Sunday school. [GPHWP, 505]
