13. A. B. Carhart Obituary. DEATH VISITS MANCHESTER HOMES

A. B. CARHART, WELL KNOWN HARDWARE DEALER, GIVES UP LIFE’S BATTLE

Impressive Funeral Services Held

Feb. 5 1914

Masons Pay Tribute to Memory of Beloved Brother

A. B. CARHART, for seventeen years a prominent business man of
Manchester, passed away at his home in this city on Thursday night,
shortly before midnight, following an illness of a week. For nearly a
year those most closely associated with Mr. CARHART have noticed a
decline in his physical strength, but notwithstanding this decline he was
always found at his post of duty until just a week before his death.
Although his friends in Mancheseter had known of his critical illness few
days previous to the final summons, not even those who watched constantly
at his bedside realized that the sickness through which he was then
passing would bring the summons.

Impressive funeral services were held at the Congregational church Sunday
afternoon at 2:30, Rev. J. F. MOORE preaching the sermon, paying a
beautiful tribute to the memory of Mr. CARHART. Members of the Masonic
lodge attended in large numbers, and because of the severity of the
weather, the Masonic burial service was read in the church. The services
were attended by a large number of sorrowing friends and lodge members.
Following the services the remains were placed in the receiving vault in
Oakland cemetery, interment to be made at a later date.

Mr. CARHART was born at Eden, Delaware County, Ohio, March 11, 1854, and
spent his boyhood days in the native county in that state. When a boy in
his teens his parents removed from the state of Ohio, and went to Macon,
Missouri, where he grew to young manhood. After finishing his schooling
he taught school for a short time in the western part of Iowa.

In the spring of 1878 he came to Manchester, and found employment in the
grocery store conducted by A. B. TERRIL. On May 16, 1878, Mr. CARHART was
united in marriage with Miss Lizzie L. LANDIS of Philadelphia, their
marriage taking place in Chicago. The day following their marriage, Mr.
and Mrs. CARHART came to Manchester, where they have lived happily
together for over thirty-six years. After several months of faithful
service in Mr. TERRILL’s grocery store, Mr. CARHART changed from the work
of the grocery clerk to that of work in the hardware store of ADAMS
Brothers. For nearly two years, Mr. CARHART was in the employ of this
pioneer hardware firm. Before going into business in Mancheseter Mr.
CARHART held responsible positions as a traveling salesman for hardware
concerns of Chicago and Dubuque, following this occupation for nearly
sixteen years. When the necessity of a rest from close attention to
business cares compelled Mr. CARHART to make a change, the sale of the
large stock was affected.

During all of the years that Mr. CARHART was associated with the business
interests of Manchester, he formed the most intimate friendships among
his business associates. By adherence to such rules of life as make for
the square deal in all of his transactions he at once won the confidence
of those who came in contact with him. Althought his time was occupied
with the cares and responsibilites of a large business, he always found
time to have a friendly word with those who had learned to love him.

Not only did he stand for the square deal in the business life of this
community, but his influence for good was felt even more strongly in the
church and lodge. For years, he had been intimately associated with the
work of the Congregational church, being a member of the board of deacons
at the time of his death. He was faithful in the performances of his
church obligations. His faith in his Maker was deep seated and his
earnest Christian life proved an inspiration to his pastor, with whom he
had entered into a most intimate friendship, and fellow church members.

In the death of this beloved citizen the Masonic order suffers the loss
of a faithful member. During the many years that he was affiliated with
this order he held many positions of honor and trust and was faithful to
all of the high principles for which the Masonic order stands. He was a
member of Manchester Lodge No. 145 (165?), A. F. & A. M; Olive Branch
chapter No. 48; Knights Templar, and Elam Council No. 33, and also of El
Kahir Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

Mr. CARHART leaves to mourn his death his devoted wife and one daughter,
Miss Nina CARHART, and one son, Bert CARHART of St. Louis. Besides the
wife and two children he leaves his aged and invalidmother, Mrs. Margaret
CARHART, and four sisters, Mrs. Lena MITCHELL, Miss Ida CARHART, Miss
Edith CARHART, all of Macon, Missouri, and Mrs. Leroy PERRINA of
Chillicotha, Missouri.

The sudden death … has blasted cherished plans. Often had he remarked
to his most intimiate friends that he longed for the time when he would
be able to lay aside the busy cares of life and be able to enjoy in a
larger measure the companionship of his family.

At this time of great sorrow, Manchester friends extend to the bereaved
ones, sincere sympathy.

General Notes: Husband – Elliot + Carhart

Elliot CARHART (picture in gallery) was born 22 March 1828 in White Plains,
Westchester Co., NY, 4th son and 6th child of 7 to Henry CARHART and Clara
EVERETT. Henry was about 47 and Clara about 35 when Elliot was born.

On 29 Sept. 1850, Elliot CARHART, age 22, married Margaret PETTIT of
Zanesville, OH. She was 20, the daughter of Bartholomew PETTIT (of VA) and
Sarah BUTTS. Margaret was born 21 Jan. 1830.

Between 1853 and 1873, Margaret and Elliot had 7 children, the last born when
Margaret was about 43 and Elliot about 45.

Their children were:

1) Ida May CARHART, b. 16 Apr. 1852 in Eden, Delaware Co., OH, died 5 Feb 1928
at about 76.
2) Arlington CARHART b. 11 March 1854, Eden, Deleware Co., OH, died 6 Feb. 1914
at about 60. Arlington was a member of Manchester Lodge No. 165, A.F.& A; Olive
Branch Chapter No. 43; Knights Templar and Elam Council No. 33 and El Kahir
Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; board of deacons Congregational Church. He
was graduated at Commercial College, Macon City, Mo. and resided in Manchester,
Iowa. Arlington’s obit and picture may be viewed in the history section.
Arlington married Lizzie L. LANDIS.
3) Carrington Elliot CARHART, b. 1 April 1861, died 13 Nov. 1910 Chicago IL. at
about 49. His obituary may be read in the history section.
4) Arthur L. CARHART, b. 24 Feb. 1867, died 2 Oct. 1884 at about 17.
5) Rose Ella CARHART, b. 20 Nov. 1859, died Oct. 1952 at about 83. She married
L. L. PERRIN after she was 31, sometime between 1900 and 1910.
6) Lena Bell CARHART, b. 22 March 1871, Macon Co. MO., married Robert Gwynn
MITCHELL.
7) Edith Adella CARHART, b. 25 Nov. 1873, died 15 August 1925 at about 52.

Neither Ida May nor Edith Adella ever married.

I’ve thus far located the family in the following censuses:

Elliot CARHART died December 29 1905 at about 77. Margaret PETTIT died 8:00
p.m., 10 August 1914 at about 74.

General Notes: Wife – Margaret E. + Pettit

Mrs. M. E. CARHART
Death Came to Aged Resident of Macon Monday Evening

Born in 1830

Mrs. Margaret E. CARHART, one of the pioneer residents of Macon, and a woman
much beloved for her many excellent qualities, gently passed to the home beyond
at 8:15 o’clock Monday evening, August 10, 1914, after a long illness, at ther
home on North Rutherford street.

She was born in Zanesville, Ohio, January 21, 1830, and at the time of her
death was well past the three score and ten, and all of them were years of
usefulness and well-doing till illness and feebleness, brought on my advanced
age, caused her activities to slacken.

Deceased reared a large family of children, four daughters surviving: Miss Ida
CARHART, Miss Edith CARHART, Mrs. R. G. MITCHELL and Mrs. Rosa PERRINE of
Chillicothe. Three sons, reared to manhood, have gone before: Arlington,
Carrington and Arthur, Arlington’s death occurring the past year: Mr. CARHART
died December 29, 1905.

Many friends will unite with us in extending sympathy to the bereaved daughters
who will deeply mourn the departure of their beloved mother and best friend.

The funeral services were held at the residence Wednesday morning at 9o’clock,
conducted by the Rev. W. D. CATER of the M. E. church of this city. Deceased
was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, but in the absence of her
pastor, the Rev. Ira W. BARNETT, who is spending his vacation in Colorado, Mr.
CATER officiated.

Internment was made in Oakwood cemetery.

Windsor County formed 1781 from Woodstock County.
ROOTSWEB gives this background on Rochester:
The town of Rochester was brought into existence by an act of the Vermont
legislature passed on November 6, 1780. In August of 1780 and again in October
the Indians attacked the towns of Barnard and Roylaton. These two events put
off the settlement of Rochester until 1781 when John Sanger, Joel Cooper,
Timothy Clements, James Guggin and John Emerson came to the town. In 1782
Daniel Emerson and David Currier settled in town. Davids’ twin sons, Frederick
and William, were the first born children in the town of Rochester. In 1786 and
1787 Enoch Emerson built the first saw and grist-mills in town and Ebenezer
Burnham donated four acres to build a meeting-house, church-yard and commom. In
1790 Dr. Retire Trask, the first physician, came to town. In 1793 Ebenezer
Morse , the first blacksmith, also settled in Rochester. The first town meeting
took place on May 15, 1788 at the house of Ebenezer Burnham. Lt. David Currier
was chosen twon clerk; Capt. Timothy Clements, selectman; Timothy Clements,
Enoch Emerson and Aaron Wilbur, highway surveyors; Moses Currier, constable;
and Joseph Boice, collector.

Summary of Ebenezer SPARHAWK’s diary

Year 1814

Summarized by Dorothy Mitchell McClure

Note: On the diaries. Ebenezer Sparhawk Jr. (28 May 1764 to 31 Oct 1836) of Rochester VT (here’s how he works into the family tree) kept a diary for 30 years. How Dorothy Mitchell McClure came into possession of the diaries is unknown, other than Ebenezer being gggrandfather of her husband, Albert, but they were quite delicate so she made a summary of them. The diaries were kept in a safe deposit box and I was never privileged to view them but received a copy of the summary. The style of her summarizing changes several times as it progresses, and shortly moves to being primarily direct abbreviated quotes. The transcriptions I’ve made of the summaries aren’t religiously exact as the style of summarizing was confusing at points where it was difficult to distinguish between direct quotes and what were her notations, but the transcriptions are close.

Though summaries, there are numerous accounts of transactions of various types with neighbors and others, accounts of illnesses and deaths, trading and selling of goods, mentions of town meetings, who was preaching, record of his surveying work for the towns and individuals, mixed in with notes on weather (and whether it was exceptional) and general and unusual chores.
