OBITUARY.
Isaac Carhart, one of the best known residents of this city, died of heart failure on Sunday at Germantown, Columbia County, N. Y., where he had gone to spend the summer. He had previously been at Saratoga, but returned to Brooklyn and then determined to go to Germantown for the summer. He was apparently in his usual robust health when he started, although he was in the 83d year of his age.
Mr. Carhart was born in Middletown, Monmouth County, N. J., March 14, 1815, and was one of thirteen children. His parents being poor, he was apprenticed to a blacksmith in his 14th year. When he was 20 he had completed his apprenticeship, Mr. Carhart came to this city on April 16, 1835, and procured employment in a blacksmith shop at $16 per month. His wages were gradually increased and in two years' time he entered into partnership with Joseph Herbert, the firm being dissolved several years later. Then Mr. Carhart began business for himself on Jay street, near Tillary. In 1841 he became a manufacturer of iron railing, etc., on Adams street, near Fulton, from which business he retired after disposing of it to the late former mayor, James Howell, the firm being later known as Howell, Saxton & Co.
Mr. Carhart was one of the first directors of the Mechanics' Bank, a position he held at the time of his death. He was also one of the first directors of the Nassau Fire Insurance Company and Mechanics' fire Insurance Company and was a director in the Brooklyn Fire Insurance Company, the Lafayette Fire Insurance Company and the Brooklyn Safe Deposit Company. He was also very active in church circles. In 1837 he joined the old Sands Street M. E. Church, where he remained for thirteen years. After that he was successively a member of the now disbanded Carlton Avenue Church for eighteen years and the Nostrand avenue Church for one year. Then he removed to Parkville and was largely instrumental in starting the Methodist Church there. He remained there for twenty-one years and in 1890 joined the New York Avenue M. E. Church. The funeral services will take place to-night at 8 o'clock at his late residence, 587 St. Marks avenue. The Rev. Dr. J. T. McFarland, pastor of the New York Avenue M. E. Church, will officiate. The interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery in the Carhart plot, at the convenience of the family. Mr. Carhart leaves a widow, but no children.
Isaac's estate was probated on 11 Oct 1897 in Kings County, New York, United States.
