Edward H. Hart Taken By Death

Edward H. Hart, prominent in political life and for many years the manager of the Penn-Mutual Insurance Company, passed away yesterday at this home in San Francisco, where he had been ill for two months.

Hart had spent his summers in a pretty home at Ross for many years, and was a resident of this county. He was a candidate for Congress twice against William Kent and ran in the last election against Congressman Clarence F. Lea.

Prominent in the Masonic order, he was the grand orator of the lodge in 1901 and 1902, and in 1906 he was grand master of the Masonic lodge in the Pacific jurisdiction.

The funeral will be held tomorrow at 10 o’clock from the Masonic Temple in San Francisco.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Margaret N. Hart, and four children, Miss Virginia K. Hart, Miss Margaret A. Hart, Robert N. Hart and John P. Hart.
