Mister Hart was the half blind patriarch of the Hart clan, deranged from alcohol. The Hart homestead was run by his children, daughters Viola Hare, Mary, Lottie and lazy son Theodore. The Harts rarely ventured into town except to sell gourds and dry corn. After he was accused of murder by Rachel Thackery Mister found it difficult to find a buyer for his family's meager crop of gourds.
