C. Hart, Esq. after a brief illness, of pneumonia, aged 42. Mr. Hart possessed the entire confidence of all who knew him. Whether as citizen, neighbor, deacon of his church, or head of a large and interesting family, he was loved and honored. In his death the community in which he lived suffers a loss beyond estimate. Additional Comments: His Children/Grandchildren believed he was born in 1843 in Wilson, Wake Co. NC, but his headstone shows 1840, making him 44/45 when he died. He was the son of Elisha B. Hart and Sally Harris. He was married to Annie Bennett Hill on Sept 19, 1866 in Franklin, Co. NC bondsman William H Harris, Witness: T.C. Horton Clerk of County Court. They had 10 children, the oldest being 17 and the youngest being under age 1, when their father died. This typed information (and more) was passed down to me by Mabel O'Briant Stallings and her sister Ida Faye O'Briant Bottoms. They composed the information for a Hart Family Reunion in the fall of 1977.
