O0TH BIRTHDAY OF NS, MARTHA P, HART (Continued from First Page) Relps her maintain her health. * Mrs. Hart Was born on May 12, 3837, on East Main atreet, in a house Which still stands near the North & Judd Mfg. Co. She was the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Elnathan Peck, her father being descended from one| of the old families of New Britain and being one of the founders eof the Peck & Walter Co., which once occupled the site’ where Landers, Frary & Clark now stands. She at- tended the local public schools and & boarding school in New Haven. On September 19, 1855, when she was 18, she married Mr. Hart, who was 21, They had been sweethearts in school, although Mr. Hart had not had overmuch schooling. At the age of 19 he entered the employ of| the Stanley Works as a bookkeeper and worked part time, attending achool for the other part of the day. Mr. Hart helped to build the Stan- ley Works to its present size and in- fidence, and he did it by constant work. He and his wife were both very busy, she says, Mr. Hart at the factory and 'Mrs. Hnrz with their family. They had seven children, six of whom are now living. They are George Hart, Howard Hart, chair- man of the board of Hart & Cooley Co.; Mrs. E. Allen Moore, Edward H. Hart of Pelham Mangr, N. Y.; Maxwell 8. Hart, president of the Hart & “Hutchinson plant, and Walter H. Hart, vice-president of the Stanley Works. She has also 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grand- children, a total of 39 living de- scendants. Her children were her only amusement, she says. In those days there were no motion pictures, theaters, politics, and other activities to keep women busy, but she found plenty of work and pleasure with her family. . On Sundays she at- tended the South Congregational church.. She is a memberjof the church and of its Woman's asso- ciation, also of the Woman's club of New Britain. She and her husband once lived in the house which is now used by the Y. M. C. A. for dormitory purposes. Now on Court street, it was then located on Main street:next to Sov- ereign’s store, which in those days ‘was the only store on the west side of Main street. Mr. Hart’s father built the Hart block, now occupled by Kresge's store, on the site of an old white house. Mr. Hart himselt built the home in which he and his wife lived. House has always been held very dear by the couple, and when it was necessary to move it they had it moved to Court street, Mr. Hart later giving it to the Y. M. C. A, of which he was then presi. dent, when he built & home on Lex- ington street. Mrs. Hart dislikes to think of its being torn down to make room for the projected new “Y’ bullding, she says, as many tender memories 1lun‘er about it. In 1908 the Harts celebrated thelr golden widding. By this time. their fortunes had changed greatly for the better, and they went to Europe three times, California twice, and Florda once. Mr. Hart died in 1919. The following year Mrs. Hart fell and fractured her hip. Her fige physical condition and the best of cara wrought miracles and it was soon completely healed, an unusual thing in a person of her advanced age. This summer she expects to vacation at Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. g Mrs. Hart was greatly shocked when she learned of the death of B. A. Hawley, she told a Herald re- porter, saying she had known him for a long time and he had always appeared to be in such good health. Mrs. Hart has an blder sister Hy- ing. She is Mrs. Walter Stanley of Pearl street, 92 years of age. Mrs. Stanley, however, is not so active and weéll as the woman who today reached the 90th milestone.
