HART - At her residence in Washington, Pa., October 19th, 1872, Mrs. Susannah Hart, in the 74th year of her age.
The deceased was a daughter of Samuel Barr, of Allegheny county, Pa. She was born on the 13th of February, 1799. After her marriage, February 26th, 1818, she resided for some time in Birmingham, then in Burgettstown, and since 1833 in Washington. The death of her husband in 1859 left her to widowhood for the rest of her life. Eight of her thirteen children survive; all of whom with filial reverence and affection shared the fellowship of her burial. During the late civil war, five of her sons and two grandsons followed the nation's flag against the rebellion, all of who still live to rejoice in the victory which sealed the unity of the government.
Mrs. Hart was reared in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, under the ministry of the venerable John Black, D.D., of Pittsburgh, for whom she ever cherished the most affectionate regard. He baptized her in infancy, received her into the communion of the Church at the age of seventeen years, married her, baptized all of her children except two, and until his death was her warm friend. It was under his advice that she transferred her relation to the Presbyterian church of Washington after her removal to that place. In this communion she cordially remained with the esteem of her brethren in Christ until death carried her to the holy company of the redeemed in heaven.
An intimate acquaintance with the deceased, as her Pastor since 1849, enables the writer to speak with confidence of her character. She was intelligent, affectionate, and constant - a good neighbor, a true friend, a sympathizing helper in distress, a faithful wife and mother and a constant Christian. She studied the word of God habitually and was familiar with the sacred truth. She loved the sanctuary and carefully observed its ordinances. By continual fidelity she sought to lead, first her own family and then all within her reach to Christ. And when her life-work was done, she cheerfully surrendered all earthly cares, to cling with unhesitating faith to the cross in calm expectation of the Lord's coming.
