HART, John Homer *
 
Here is a sketch of the Hart Furniture Dealership in Kent, OH. owned by Betty Patterson's  Great Grandfather, JOHN HOMER HART and which she titled

"THE PROPRIETORS"
John Homer Hart
was in partnership with his Uncle John M Hart. They owned this Furniture Dealership in Kent, Portage, OH.
     The last I heard, the building is still standing in 2005 though it is no longer used as a furniture store.
     John M Hart, born 1809 in Vermont, removed to Ohio in about 1830 and met and married Cecelia P. Preston in 1835. John M. died in Franklin Township, Portage, OH in 1877.
     John Homer Hart, born 1842 in Ohio, married 1) Francelia Sawyer in 1870. After her death in 1889, he remarried Cora B,. Wadsworth. John Homer died 1916 in Ravenna, Portage, OH and is buried in the Standing Rock Cemetery in Kent, Portage, OH.
