OBITUARIES: Evening Times Globe, October 13, 1930, Page 3 A.S. Hart, Well Known Citizen Passes Away Prominent Business Man Died Saturday After Lengthy Illness Abraham S. Hart, 55, son of the late Solomon and Alice Davis Hart, for years connected with the tobacco trade in Saint John, as was his father, before him, passed away at his home, 86 Mecklenburg Street, Saturday evening after a patiently-borne illness. He was only ill for a few weeks, however, Mr. Hart was denied daily walks uptown where it was his pleasure to meet with fellow citizens. Though the youngest of a large family, Mr. Hart had the distinction of being the oldest native born Hebrew citizen as well as holding first place as a member of that race in point of years of residence regardless of age. The Isaac, Green and Hart families were the first Jewish people to establish themselves in business in Saint John, Mr. Hart Sr. coming here as early as 1862. The late Mr. Hart was of an intensively industrious nature in his early days. Educated in local schools, he was associated with his father in retail tobacco trade in King Street and Charlotte Street for years. Then he became travelling representative for A. and I. Isaacs, cigar and cigarette manufacturers when that firm was one of Saint John's most important industries. Mr. Hart was also in business for himself and at one time owned and managed a cigar factory at the corner of Church and Prince William Streets. Mr. Hart contributed much time and effort to assist in Jewish immigration work at Sand Point, a philanthropy to a major extent superintended by Abram Poyas, now of New York. He was one of the organizers and treasurer for years of the first synagogue built in this city and ever a devotional adherent. Therefore Mr. Hart's passing will be keenly felt in several circles. Hospitable and bright-minded he made many friends and his enthusiasm in matters in which he interested himself made him an outstanding personality. Mrs. Hart, formerly Harriet Phyllis Steiner, of New York and two sons, Ronald S. and Wilbert S., are the surviving members of the family. Both young men have been with their parents for several weeks. Mr. Hart is also survived by five sisters, Mrs. Caroline Isaacs and Mrs. Rachel Landau, Saint John, Mrs. Jennie Isaacs, Westmount, P.Q., Mrs. Elizabeth Green, Vancouver, B.C., and Mrs. Rebecca Wyzanski, Brookline, Massachusetts. Evening Times Globe Monday, October 13, 1930, page 9 Deaths Hart - At his residence, 86 Mecklenburg Street, on Saturday, October 11, Abraham S. Hart, aged 55 years, leaving a wife and two sons. Funeral today (Monday) at 3 p.m. from his late home. Interment in the Green Hart Cemetery. Evening Times Globe Monday, October 13, 1930, page 9 Funerals Abraham S. Hart The funeral of Abraham S. Hart was held from his late residence, 86 Mecklenbyrg Street, this afternoon and many attended. Service was conducted by Rabbi Simon Heinglich at 3 o'clock. The flowers were many and beautiful. Interment was made in the family plot in Fernhill. Gravestone reference code(s): JM 998.61.509 / JM 998.61.510.
