A couple of days ago I wrote about Isaac D. Hart having been injured in an accident in 1905, involving a street car. I said that I located those articles, about the accident and following court case, while searching for his obituary.
Well, I did find his obituary. It was published in the Bay City Times on 2 Sep 1920, page 3. This was 15 years after the street car accident and there’s no indication that his death was related to the accident. His death certificate lists cause of death as Senility
Here is my transcription of his obituary:
Isaac D. Hart aged 86, died Wednesday afternoon at the home of his son, Ellis C. Hart, 230 Lincoln avenue, north, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Hart, years ago, was a teacher of music in the Saginaw schools. Later he moved to North Williams, where he lived for many years and for a number of years past he has made his home with his son in this city. His wife died a little over a year ago. He is survived by his son, two brothers, Leonard of Lansing and Simeon of Detroit, a sister, Mrs. Arminda Ingram of Saginaw, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2:30 Friday afternoon and the remains will be taken to Armada, Mich., for interment Saturday morning. The family requests that flowers be omitted.
Isaac was predeceased by his wife, Eliza who died in 1915. Both of them are said to be buried in Armada, Michigan (as stated on their death records). I have not yet located the cemetery where they are buried. I looked again this morning, conducting all sorts of searches on FindAGrave and Billion Graves. I also looked again, for an obituary for Eliza and could not locate one.
If anyone reading this has more information as to the burial location of Isaac & Eliza, I would love to hear from you. Or, if you are related to this family and perhaps have information to share or want to ask me questions, please get in touch.

Hi Diane,
ReplyDeleteLoved your post, but am struggling a little with an obit posted so long after the event.
Cheers,

Sorry Diane, I did not read your previous post correctly. I had originally thought he died in 1905 after the accident. Please ignore my comments.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I’m just glad you stopped by. And, besides, sometimes I do make mistakes in my posts, such as typos. I’m always happy to have someone question anything I write.
