Biography

Julius C. Hart was born in 1829, and moved to Ohio as a small boy. A schoolteacher, he enlisted in the 68th Ohio regiment as a private in October, 1861. Although he wasn't listed as wounded, he was discharged under a surgeon's certificate of disability in April, 1862, several days after the Battle of Shiloh.

Hart's wife Martha died Dec. 21, 1862, perhaps in childbirth to one of their three children. Hart may have served as a United States Detective in Nashville after the war, and in June 1865 he had set up, with fellow Rock City member Edward W. Metcalf, the Cumberland Mining and Petroleum Company. This corporation may only have existed on paper, and it is not clear what business Hart was in while he was in Nashville. The 1869 Nashville City Directory lists him as a "collector."

Julius Hart died in Nashville in May 1870, and is buried in Williams County, Ohio.
