Obituary Of Mr.. Mary Newton Hart.

obituary Of Mrs Mary Newton Hart.
This estimable lady departed
this life at her family residence
in this city, on Friday, Jan. 18th,
from the effects of heart trouble.
1t was in the fall of the year
1s41, when the writer of this
article spent a night at the home
of that good man, Mathew Nicely,
on Morgan's Run, of Middle Is
land Creek, and there, for the
first time. met and became ac.
quainted with his children. of
whom Mrs. Hart, then beauti-
full. bright little Miss, was one.
Upon further acquaintance with
her IN after years. as she grew
up to womanhood, she became,
if possible, more beautiful. She
was a sweet tempered, amiable
young lady, as fair as Lilly of
the lawn" gentle, retiring and
modest. In October, 1949, she
married Mr.. Ira Hart, an indus.
trious, sterling young man of
Clarksburg.
After their marriage they set,
tied down happily together, in
the West End, where life's strug.
giles were begun. where the
ambitious young husband. by
close application, hard study and
industry, achieved a marked sue
cess and came to the front rank
as a skilled artisan master of
his profession
Verify, it seemed as if the cup
of Mrs, Harris JOY was full. Her
lovely home and surroundings
were all that she could wish for.
The star of her hope had arisen
and a happy, joyous future
awaited her, when, in 1879, her
husband was thrown from a
buggy, sustaining injuries
from which he unfortun.

and crushing was this blow. 1t
would have shattered the hopes
and crushed the spirit of almost
any other woman than Mrs,
Hart. But benefited by the ex.

lamented husband, herresources,
her courage and vigor, were
equal to the sad and sorrowful
emergency that surrounded her
by death and gloom. BY her

despite the knowledge that the power of

which Is to be organized next fall he will
find still more opposition to his views, for

Should tariff bill framed in New

approval, it would give these northern and

norther set in here last evening, changing
the spr1ng-iike weather to a freezing tenn
perature. 1t is estimated that 1000 BOOM
ers are how on the border of Kansas north
of the strip. Only few of them have any
protection from the weather other than
that afforded by their wagons. Only one
in twenty can afford to build fire. and at
best they could only have fires in the open
wind, 1t cannot be guessed how much
suffering there will be, AS among the thou
sands are many children and many sick
travellers. The Situate cannot be relev-
ed by the farmers On the border; for they
are, in most Cases, having = hard time to
weather through alone. When word was
passed along the line that cold wave
was coming, many of the unfortunates
prayed that it would be of short duration.
