              CAPT. FRED C. HART
                EXPIRES FRIDAY
                
              Vessel Master, Long Ill, Had Sailed
                Lake Ships Since He Was 18 Years Old.
                
              CAPTAIN FRED C. HART, pioneer lake vessel master, died
            Friday morning at his home, 427 West Alexandrine avenue,
            after several months' illness. He left his boat early in
            November, returning to his home because of failing health.
            Funeral services will take place at the home of his son,
            JOHN H. HART, 2885 West Grand boulevard, at 2 p.m. on
            Monday.
              CAPTAIN HART was born in Detroit August 17, 1848. When
            18 years old, he started his career on the old sailing
            vessels which plied the lakes at that time. He gained his
            first command of a schooner when 21 years old, and had
            retained his love for the lakes ever since. For the last
            20 years, he had been in the employ of M. A. Hanna &
            Company Cleveland, commanding the steamer G. A. Flagg and
            the barge A. W. Thompson during the long period.
              CAPTAIN HART was a member of Detroit Lodge No. 7 of the
            Shipmasters; association and of the Masonic fraternity.
            Both organizations will be represented at his funeral
            services, which will be conducted by Rev. Paul Faude,
            rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Interment will be
            in Woodmere.
              Besides the widow, Mrs. ADALINE HART, he leaves two
            sons, JOHN H. HART, vice-president of the First and Old
            Detroit National bank, and FRED C. HART, Jr., teller of
            the Wayne County and Home Savings bank, and one daughter,
            Mrs. DONALD C. GORDON.
