Mrs. Hart was married in Rochester, May 20, 1861, to Samuel Collins Hart, who at that time was with his father, Theodore E. Hart, engaged in the banking business and later, 1864 to 1870, in the U. S. Revenue Service in north east Texas. He died July 3, 1894.

Since her marriage, she has lived at her home on Gibson street. She was for many years an active member of the First Congregational church, a teacher in the Sunday school and for a long time President of the Ladies Society of the church. She was secretary of the Scientific Association for twenty-seven years, a charter member of the Botanical Society and a member of the Interrogation club.
