followed famling for a while, but later became connected with the Gage &
Jones Company, of Lawrence, Mass., lumber dealers, and was with them for
twenty-three years, making his home in Derry. In 1902 he severed his rela-
tions with that firm and entered into the lumber and wood business for him-
self, also dealing in coal, in which line of business he has since been engaged
successfully. He buys tracts of timber, which he manufactures into lumber,
finding a ready market for his product. He has two yards, one operated by
himself and the other by his son, William.
     Mr. Hart was married in 1902 to Etta Currier, of Hampstead, N. H., the
only issue of this marriage being the son above mentioned. Mr. Hart is one
of the leading citizens of Derry, highly respected by all who know him for
his genial disposition, his square dealing as a business man, and his public
spirit, which leads him to take a useful interest in whatever makes for the
moral or material betterment of the community in which he lives. His career
and personal character give ample evidence, were such needed, that men of
foreign birth can vie with the native stock in all the attributes of good Amer-
ican citizenship.
