A. W. HART, grocer, was born in 1856 in Miami County, Ohio, and received
his education at the Covington Academy, and came to Kansas in the summer
of 1877, locating at Eureka, and taught school here until the summer of
1878, when he went into the drug store of his brother-in-law, Dr.
Wassam, as prescription clerk. In the spring of 1882, Mr. Hart entered
into partnership with Mr. Claycomb as grocers under the firm name of
Hart & Claycomb, but, in September of the same year he bought out his
partner's interest in the business. He carries at present $2,000 worth
of stock, and as he aims to keep nothing but the best groceries has
rapidly built up a substantial and increasing trade. His store is
situated on the west side of Main street, and his stock is fully
insured. December 28, 1880, he married Miss Addie Claycomb, by whom he
has one child- Mary Arrah, born December 8, 1882. Mr. Hart was appointed
City Clerk in 1879, and was elected a member of the City Council in
1882.
