"CAPTAIN WILLIAM H. HART
Captain William H. Hart, one of our best-known citizens of a past generation, died yesterday at his residence, No. 1317 Walnut street, aged eighty-eight years. He was a descendant of one of the oldest families in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, and entered early in life on a successful business career in mercantile occupation, and retiring from active pursuits, invested his already large fortune in the several railroad and other similar undertakings that have contributed so largely to the marvelous growth of Philadelphia. He was for a long time captain of the First City Troop of Calvary, and at the time of his death was the oldest living member of the troop, and always took a great interest in the prosperity of the company. He was a director of several corporations, and up to a few months of his death he was active in the discharge of all the duties of the trust reposed in him. He was of a cheerful disposition, and lived without an enemy and without censure of his fellows. He was always the possessor of remarkably good health, and his stately figure, erect and handsome, was familiar to most Philadelphians. He leaves a large fortune, the result of prudent investments and sound judgment in monetary matters."
