Marek Sarba, the artist and Old Saybrook resident who painted the portrait of General William Hart (below) , also has painted a beautiful portrait of General Hart’s younger brother, Elisha, that he has also donated to the Old Saybrook Historical Society. The beautiful portrait is hung over the fireplace in the dining room of the Hart House. Elisha was the father of the seven daughters renowned for their “beauty” and energy. Elisha and his family lived next door to his parents, Reverend and Mrs. William Hart, near the properties now occupied by the St. John’s Catholic Church and Rectory on Main Street.
