1900 - Census - Same awful census taker as Marion's mother in Tucker Co., WV. The only birth month/year that is accurate, is that for Harriet's month and year. The rest is either information that came from someone that did not know OR the census taker just filled in random information to fill the form. One child is also not listed.

1914 - 1915 - According to direct family records, Marion was accidentally shot by a unattended gun that fell to the ground. (See news article below about daughter Eleanor.) There are 3 entries, back-to-back, in the death records. The final entry is January 1, 1915 so I took that date as his FINAL death date.

Parts of these documents repeat some information. My job in transcribing was to just transcribe the information typed up by Marion Milton Hart, not to edit anything. However, I have done research on other members of the extended family tree and was able to add some notes to MMH's narrative which will clarify who he is talking about. These notes are shown below in red.

The Harts of Randolph

May be ordered from Mrs. Katherine Hart Frame, Dailey, W.Va., 26259, Price $24.00, postage included. No sales tax except if ordered from W.Va.

Having acquired Hu Maxwell�s and Homer Floyd Fansler�s Histories of Tucker County, I became aware of the existence of the above book, and ordered it. I got a letter asking which line I belonged to. The author is about 80 years old and has spent almost a lifetime collecting the information. We are all in it, as well as a zillion other Harts.

As near as I can figure it out the line of descent is as follow:

Lots of Harts came to New England in the 1600�s, from England. JOHN HART, Signer of Declaration of Independence, son of Edward Hart and Martha Furman. Thought to have been born in N.J., date unknown, but was baptized Feb 21, 171 in N.J. Died 1779. About 1740 married Deborah Scudder. Had lots of kids and was involved in politics and Committee of Correspondence just prior to Rev. War. Owned farm, mill, and distillery. During war, Hessians destroyed a lot of his property that they did not confiscate. He had to take to the hills, and his family was scattered, but were reunited after Washington captured Trenton.

DANIEL HART, one of his sons, born Aug 13, 1762, died Sep 13, 1848. Buried in Beverly Cemetary [stet]. Married Margaret Bunn. He and brother Edward moved to what is now Randolph County, W.Va., in 1794. He served short time in Rev. War, and served in Virginia Assembly. He had 9 kids.

JOHN SCUDDER HART, son of Daniel, Born Sept, 7, 1791 in N. J. died 1860. Married Jemima Slagle. Buried Israel Church Cemetary [stet], Kerens, W.Va.

ELAM HART, son of John Scudder Hart, (and my grandfather.) He was fourth son. Born Oct. 1848, died Nov. 21, 1879. Buried in Israel Church Cemetary [stet] near Kerens, W.Va. Died of a cancerous tumor. His first marriage was to Martha W Wilmoth in 1847. She died 1851. They had two children, Milton F Hart, and Marion Perry Hart, both of whom died very young. Elam run a store.

2ND MARRIAGE Sept. 2, 1855 to Mary Lucretia Corrick, daughter of Wm. Corrick, after whom Battle of Corricks Ford was named.

Their son, Perry M Hart was 2 years old in 1860 census. Aunt Nora Collet told me he was the meanest man she ever knew. He was married twice; no record of any children. In 1886 was living in Sonoma, Cal and was reportedly found dead in a boat in the Pacific, Ocean, supposedly while hunting.

Willie Hart, age 22, was shot in Cal. He was very good looking; we used to have a big framed picture of him. Details of his death never were ascertained. Aunt Nora Collet told me there were two versions. One that he got lost out hunting, and was shot while approaching a house. The other that he was working ona a ranch and was shot by another man in an argument over a bridle.

AND SO ON � AD INFINIM

There is a chapter that links the Harts to the nobility and kings of England, France, Scotland, clear back to Charlemagne

CONDENSED HART GENEALOGY

Name is of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin, and formerly spelled various ways such as Hurtt, Hearte, Hort. Has been traced back to time of Charlemagne. Many Harts came to New England in very early 1600�s, and are scattered all over. Must be a zillion of them.

John Hart, New Jersey, signer of Dec. of Independence. Had large family and was wealthy mill and land owner. During Rev. War hid out in hills and family scattered. Hessians destroyed what they could not carry away of his property. Died 1779.

In 1794 his two sons Daniel and Edward moved to West Augusta County (Now Randolph Co., W.Va.). We are descended from Daniel Hart. Hallies grandfather, Elam Hart, - May 22, 1824-Nov 21, 1879. Buried in Israel Church Cemetary [stet], Kerens, W. Va. His first wife and children died. On Sept. 2 1855 married Mary Lucretia Corrick, daughter of Wm, Corrick and sister of Edith Corrick. They had three sons, Marion French, Willie, and Perry. After his death Granny Hart as we called her, sold all of his holdings for gold and went to California. Took Perry and Willie with her, and left our father Marion French to shift for himself at at [stet] age 13. Perry was found dead in a boat on Pacific Ocean, duck hunting. Willie was a very handsome 22 year old when he was shot in California. One version that he got lost hunting and was shot by someone who thought he was an intruder. The other that while working on a ranch he was shot by another man in an argument over a bridle. She was supposed to send for our father, but never did, which is the reason us kids never had much use for her.

[For more information about brothers Perry Milton Hart and Willie Hart please go to this web page: https://laurellynn.com/genealogy/hart/john_scudder_hart____Elem.htm
In short, according the CA death certificate for Perry M Hart. He commit suicide with a gun. Unknown if it was on a boat. The handsome Willie mentioned above is John William Hart who was murdered by his first cousin Cyrus Corrick son of Jefferson Marteney Corrick, brother of Mary Lucretia Corrick. On the above mentioned web page, I have placed two newspaper articles about this murder. --Laurel]

Seemed like she had plenty of money and lived in a high style. After our dad was killed in 1914, whe was living on a cousins ranch in Kansas was about broke and our mother took her in. When she moved in she had a piano crate, trunk, and Morris chair. Never saw so much silk and brodade [stet] clothing in my life. After she died Eleanor and I went through her things. The only thing left is a pocket enclopedia [stet], which I have. She was married three times.

Our dad had traded a 38-40 Marlin lever action rifle for a muzzle loading Daniel Boone outfit. Three days before Xmas in 1914 he went to a shooting match in Parsons. Some idiot accidently shot him in the chest. He was taken by train to hospital in Davis, and died about three days later. Mom was there with him. I was in first year of school. When word came to the school house, us kids went home.

We stuck it out on the farm till 1919. Viva and Chaunce got married, Joe enlisted in 1917, Hallie got a job as waitress at the Commercial Hotel in Parsons. We put most of the farm out on shares, but Mom, Eleanor and I did some of the farm work. I worked for farmers sometimes, on threshing machine, and following a potato digger from daylight to dark. In 1917 Mom, Eleanor, and I picked strawberries for neighbors, three times a week for shipping.

In 1919 after Hallie and Cale got married, we sold 17 acres of bottom land and 47 acres of wooded hill land for $2000.00. Mom and Eleanor went to live with Viva and Harold Barb, and Hallie and Cale took me in. Nobody could have treated be better. Cale was working in the boiler room, firing furnaces at the Pulp Mill, but late in 1920 they went to Morgantown (Scott�s Run) to work in the mines. I stayed with the Barbs till they got settled and then joined them. During thee 1921 depression, Cale was running the concrete mixer for the county paving roads. I worked that summer as water boy at 20 cents an hour. I finished the last half of eighth grade at Bertha, a big mining town with company store. Went to first year high school in Morgantown. OVER-

CONDENSED CORRICK, LONG GENEALOGY

Wm. Corrick (pronounced Carrick) 1800-1882. He was your great, great, great grandfather. Had 18 children. Next his daughter Edith-
Edith (married Garret Long) your great, great grandparents.
Samantha (Aunt Mant) married Henry Shrader (We were always very close to this family). My mother�s sister.
Another sister, Flo, Married Will Bently, moved to California when Mom was about 10 years old.
Another sister Nora married John Collet.
Another sister, Alice, married Nathan Callihan, Phillipi [stet], W.Va.

CIVIL WAR PERIOD. A lot of the backwaters of the Civil War was in W.Va. The first land skirmish was at Phillipi [stet]
Both sides needed control of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad from Washington, D.C. to Parkersburg & Wheeling, W.Va.

The Confederated had a good sized army in wester Va. (now W.Va.). Gen McCllean [stet] invaded from Parkersburg with abut 20,000 men. The Confederates split into three armies and tried to get back to Va.

The battle of Corrick�s Ford was on July 13, 1861. Robert S Garnett (West Pointer, western Indian fighter) had about 6000 men. Pursued by Union General T. A. Morris with about 600 men. Decided to make a stand at Job�s Ford (site of Holly Meadows school), but left a rear guard on Shavers Fork River at farm of Wm. Corrick. Garnett hearing the firing, rode with aides back to Corrick�s Ford. Too proud to dismount he was killed by a bullet. He died in Wm. Corrick�s bed, the first general killed in the Civil War. His remaining forces panicked and went every man for himself. Garnett�s body eventually was sent to Grafton and sent to his family in Virginia.

I can remember Grandma Long telling about this battle. She said the Union had sent riders to warn people to clear out. When it was over Wm. Corrick�s kitchen was used for prisoners. They bored holes in the floor to dispose of blood from wounded, and a cannon ball had shot a leg off the dining room table.

Evidently at that time, she was living in the Holly Meadows, and had twin girl babies. Both sides had their militia, and her husband, Garret Long, an officer of the Confederate Home Guards, was in a federal prison camp at Wheeling. Released after here months with petitions from both sides, health ruined, eventually died of throat cancer. She said the Union soldiers ran off the livestock and chickens. A soldier found a side saddle under a bed, and she and the soldier were tugging on each end until an officer made the soldier let go. She hid a Confederate, dressed him in women�s clothes, got on a horse with him and rode through the union lines. He escaped over the mountains and wrote to her from Georgia after the war.

I found out how we are related to the Parsons tribe. Garret Long�s sister Eunice (known as Aunt Sis) married Job Parsons. They lived in a log house until their son Ward, who must have built a good part of the houses in Akron, built a three story house in the early 1900�s. I can remember going to Aunt Sis funeral, and getting lost on the third floor. I must have been about 3 or 4 at the time.

[Job Parsons � son of Solomon Parsons and Mary Polly Ward. Married first to Jemima Ward (daughter of Adonijah Ward and Hannah Hull), Sep 2, 1840. They were first cousins. Jemima dies before 1860. Job then marries Eunice Jane Long, Jul 22, 1870. Ward Parsons was the son of Job Ward and his first wife Jemima, not Eunice. ---Laurel

OVER

In 1923 I went to Joe & Bernetta�s in Akron and finished H.S. there. I did a lot of work for them, and worked on a truck farm for 20 cents an hour, sometimes 14 hours a day, the summer I was 16. Couple years ago Hallie went with us up to Bertha, everything gone except the old boarded up school house, and the place is a trailer court.

Believe me, when I was at Scott�s Run, I had enough adventures to fill a book. I wore scout pants and Cale�s army leggings and shoes. I found a wide brimmed hat, and made a holster from an old pair high top shoes. With this holster and a wide leather German belt Joe had sent from Luxembourgh, casing a 22 blank pistol, I looked at a distance like a state cop. One day when I went up on the hill where the miners lived, one guy thought I was a state trooper, and dumped his moonshine mash and hid his still.

In 1921 when Cale was running concrete mixer for county, and I was waterboy, Ham came from Ohio, and Cale got him a job firing the boiler the steam operated mixer. I shared a room with him. Sometimes at night, he and I would sit in the kitchen; and I would bum cigarettes from him and listen to his army stories. Some of them would curl your hair. On the way back from Vladivostock [stet], they stopped at Shanghai, Nagasaki, and Pearl Harbor, and the Phillipines [stet]. We had a standing joke when the going got tough �get our [stet] your boles�. Bolo is about the same as machete.

Our dad, M.F. Hart, had very little schooling, but was quite literate. We had books, and newspapers. He was good at figures and a good carpenter. Took two men to carry his tool box. Joe had these tools and used them in a lot of building in California. Dad was also a farmer, blacksmith, lumberjack, and sometimes worked away at these trades. Joe met a 1st cousin of our father, Simpson Hart, a carpenter, in California, but don�t know any more about him.

[Simpson Hart - b. Jan 31, 1862, Kerens, WV; d. Jun 22, 1958, Polk Co., FL was the son of David Blackman Hart and Anzina Jane Wilmoth. David Blackman Hart was the brother of Elam Hart. So yes, Simpson was a first cousin to Marion French Hart � Laurel
For more information on this family, go to this webpage: https://laurellynn.com/genealogy/hart/john_scudder_hart____David.htm#Simpson ]

Mom�s sister Flo, Mrs. Will Bently, had a daughter Eva and maybe a son. When Viva went to Cal. Joe & Bernetta took her to Salinas to see Eva. She had a daughter that was married to a man that Jimmy Goff served with in the Navy, and used to sing with Mitch Miller. Jimmy said there was a man who didn�t know what to do with himself. She divorced him and the last I ever heard of her she had a sculptress studio in San Francisco. When Bell, Larry, and I were in Cal. In 1975 we stayed all night in Salinas on the way to Yosemite. Bernetta though we should stop to see Eva, but we never seen her and were on a tight schedule, so we didn�t stop. Her husband had been U
Under-Sherriff of the county for over 40 years.

Trying to figure out all these relationships can drive you up the wall. -- [End of transcription]

Accessed Sep 29, 2019

Larry G. Hart, 81, former longtime resident of Cuyahoga Falls, passed away on Friday, September 8, 2017, at Copeland Oaks Crandall Medical Center, in Sebring, after a lengthy illness.

Larry graduated from South High School, earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Akron, where he was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and later completed a Master's degree at Kent State University. Early in his career, he taught elementary education in the Akron area and then was the reading specialist at the Youth Development Center, in Hudson, for several years. He made many friends while working part time at the YMCA and Falls Natatorium.

Larry served in the Army Reserves, and he was an active member of Faith United Methodist Church. A man of many talents, Larry played piano and organ, loved imagegraphy, and traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and abroad. As a snowbird, he enjoyed strolling the snow white sand beaches of the Florida panhandle. Larry was intrigued by how things worked, and he designed and built a vacation cottage. He was a collector of reed organs and a member of the Reed Organ Society. A real "people" person, Larry had the ability to find a connection with almost anyone he met. His friends were legion and covered the spectrum from young to old.

Birth Record for Eleanor Rebecca Edith Hart

Select the image to see a larger view

1910 - Census - Living with parents

1920 - Census - Eleanor living with her sister Hallie and her husband Caleb Goff in Black Fork, Tucker Co., WV (See Census above)

After 1920 it is more difficult and confusing to follow Eleanor in the online records. According to the marriage and SS Application of Eleanor's daughter Margaret, Margaret's father was Joseph Kenneth Larison. If this is correct, then Margaret married or was involved with Joseph Kenneth Larison around 1926 because Margaret was born May 18, 1927. I am currently unable to locate a marriage license in WV or neighboring states of VA, PA, and OH.

What does help to confirm that there was some kind of marriage between Eleanor and Joseph K Larison, is the 1930 Census for Joseph K Larison. He is shown living with his parents in Fairfax, Tucker Co., WV. Marital status given is "Married". Joseph does not marry Alpha Opal McCray until the following year because Alpha Opal is still living at home with her parents at age 16, single, in the same town.

Also of interest in this 1930 census for Joseph K Larison, are the grandchildren living in the household. They are two of the four children of Joseph's sister Mary, who is married to Roy Alford Smith.

Roy A Smith who has separated from Mary Larison is shown in the 1930 Census living in Wheeling, Belmont Co., OH with Eleanor Hart Larison and her daughter Margaret. The Census taker records that the couple has been married for 3 years, which was not correct unless it was a common law marriage...or not.

1942 - WWII Registration for Roy "Alfred" Smith has some conflicting info. The birth date is the same, Sep 17. But the birth year is now 1896, instead of 1894. Also MD is given as state of birth, not WV. Besides the birth month and day, the wife's name of Eleanor Smith is correct on this form

1942 - 1967 - Somewhere in this year range, Roy leaves Eleanor and moves to San Miguel Co., NM where he dies in 1967.

Doing an online search, the Las Vegas, NM Carnegie Library catalog does have CD and print copies of the City Directories for Las Vegas, Miguel Co., NM. Unfortunately, they are not available online. Research would need to be done in-person to see if Roy A Smith appears in these directories.

Eleanor's life 'in the fast line'
Centenarian embraces hard work
Observer-Reporter https://observer-reporter.com (Washington County, PA)
By Denise Bachman (Unknown date. Based on the reference to Eleanor's birth day, Feb 12, this article was probably published Jan or Feb 2009)

When Eleanor Smith retired at age 65 as a floor supervisor from JC Penney, her co-workers presented her with what they thought was a most fitting gift: a pair of roller skates.

"I was always going fast. There was a lot of floor there to take care of," Mrs. Smith said.

Besides, her co-workers knew she wasn't about to let age slow her down.

On Feb 12, Mrs Smith will celebrate her 100th birthday, attributing the milestone to working hard her entire life. "Work never hurt anybody," she said.

Mrs. Smith was born on Holly Meadows Farm in Parsons, W.Va., the youngest of Marion French and James Harriet Hart's six children.

And it was only recently that she discovered, through a relative's genealogy research about the Harts of Tucker County (W.Va.), that she is the great-great-great-granddaughter of John Hart, one of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Mrs. Smith strong work ethic was established early when her father died in a freak accident at a shooting match. A gun positioned against a tree fell over and discharged; a bullet struck Marion Hart. Eleanor was just 4 years old.

"Oh, I really adored my father. t was such a shame," she said. "I remember he would dress me in front of the coal stove in the mornings,"

The Depression was a struggle, too, said Mrs. Smith, recalling how butter and sugar were rationed. "I always baked, but you didn't bake anything at that time."

Mrs. Smith spent much of her young life as a single mother tending to her only child, Margaret who weighed just 3 pounds at birth. Mrs. Smith remembers placing the infant on a satin pillow in a box and placing her in the oven to keep her warm.

And when Margaret's husband was killed in an accident in 1958, she moved into her daughter's home to help care for her grandchildren, Tim and Harriet Bostonia.

Harriet said the family had no money, so, taking a cue from her own mother, Mrs. Smith canned and froze "everything." She also learned to drive, and the first car she purchased was a red Rambler.

Mrs. Smith spent much of her 30 year career at Penney's - first on South Main Street, and later at the Washington Mall - in the hat department, and she organized hat shows at area churches.

"Nobody liked the idea. It was my idea, and I thought it was a good idea," she said.

Despite her busy schedule, Mrs. Smith always was active in her church, Friendship Community, serving as its treasurer and "seamstress." She made cushions for the pews, alter coverings and Communion tablecloths. She also was an award-winning photographer, and was one of the founders of the Washington Camera Club.

Before moving into an assisted-living facility two years ago, Mrs. Smith was a longtime resident of Thomas Campbell Apartments, where she worked in the dining hall and as a floor monitor.

In addition to her two grandchildren, she has two great-grandchildren, Sarah and Guy Bostonia, and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
