A Veteran and Pioneer. He Peacefully Passed to the Other Side After a Lingering Illness of Four and a Half Years. On Tuesday evening, at the residence of his son-in-law, James Mackenzie, the Hon. Noah Harrison Hart, quietly breathed his last, after a decline of four years and a half, occasioned by a stroke of paralysis sustained in March, 1887. He was one of the pioneers of the State of Michigan, having gone there in 1832, and was made member of the constitutional convention of that State in 1859, and a member of the State legislature in 1851. He was a lawyer by profession, an old-time democrat and a warm personal friend of Lewis Cass. He enlisted in 1861 as First Lieutenant of Company F. Tenth regiment Michigan infantry. He was soon made captain, in which capacity he served until 1865, honored and beloved by his men, with whom he shared the hardships of war. Amongst the battles in which he was engaged were Lookout mountain, Buzzard's Roost and Peach Tree creek, and he marched with Sherman as far as Atlanta. He was a member of Turrill Post, G.A.R., of Lapeer, Mich., where he lived 54 years. His funeral will take place on Thursday, at 3 p.m., at the residence of Mr. James Mackenzie, No. 2105 Warren street, corner [Floyd?].
