Fred and Ella (Wyman) Hart and Their Descendants
Frederick Burdette Hart was born May 31, 1867 in Plymouth, CT, the son of Amos Bushnell and Almira Eliza (Gaylord) Hart. Fred was a descendant of Deacon Stephen Hart, one of the original founders of Hartford, CT. Fred came to Blandford sometime after 1880. It is not known why he came to Blandford from Plymouth, Ct, but a distant Hart relative, Ella's grandmother, Emily (Hart) Aldrich was living in Blandford in 1880. There is a story told by Fred's grandson, Hilton Hart, that in March of 1888 Fred walked about 45 miles back to his home town to buy a pair of oxen. On his return as he got near Blandford, it began to snow. It was very fortunate that he made it back to Blandford as that snow was the beginning of the Blizzard of 1888.
He married Ella Louise Wyman In 1892. They had a small farm on South Street and eventually sold it and moved to Russell Road in the center of Blandford where they ran a boarding house.
You can read more about the boarding house in the memoirs of Esther (Hart) Ripley: https://www.blandfordhistoricalsociety.org/esther-hart-ripley.html#/

Elmer and Edna (Wyman) Hart
From Ester (Hart) Ripley: My father's (Fred Hart) brother Elbert had an ice cream and candy store in Brooklyn, NY on 262 5th Avenue. He made all the ice cream and candy. He thought mama and papa could make their fortune making ice cream. He had the 5-gallon cans and tubs shipped to them. He came to show them how to make it. My mother's brother, Percy (3.25), had Jersey cows. Jersey cows gave very rich milk. The milk and cream were bought from them. It was turned by the motor my father used to saw the wood. All ingredients were put in the can and turned. When the cover was taken off it was all sweet vanilla butter. I think it was the third try before the cream was cut down enough and replaced by milk to have it come out right. They made and sold quite a lot of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pineapple and peach. They didn't make their fortune though.
