Our community was greatly shocked
on Friday, May goth, to learn OF the
sudden and unexpected death OF G. Z.
Dart, one OF our most enterprising and
prosperous citizens, after a brief illness
of but one week.
Carol Carter Dart, the oldest son OF
Lucius and Mary Dart, was born at
Moneton, Addison County, Vermont,
October Sd, 1852.
When but an infant he removed with
his parents to western New York. When
our brother was but six years OF age,
his parents filled with the genuine yam
kee spirit OF restlessness, again removed
with their son to Chatsworih, Living
ston county, Illinois, where Carol spent
the remainder OF his childhood, youth
and early manhood. On January Sd,
1877, he was united in marriage to Miss
Nellie Haskell, a lady well fitted to make
his home a happy one, and to give him
strength and courage TO fight the battle
OF life. Always energetic, persevering,
earnest and hopeful. our community has
cause to be glad that he and his family
were among the pioneers of Day county
early in March 1888, since which time
he has always shown the indomitable
pluck and spirit OF q native Green
Mountain" boy. He came here very
poor in worldly goods but richin energy
and grit, and was never a calamity
bowler" At his death he owned a sec
ton OF land under a good state OF i'm
provement, a half interest in a grain
elevator in Pierpont, whore he has
bought grain for several years. besides
attending TO his farm and other business
interests in the same town.
He was a kind and thoughtful hus-
band, an indulgpnt and loving father,
an obliging neighbor aud q friend to the
unfortunate, always and everywhere.
As a proof OF his love and devotion to
his family as well as his lraternal spirit
toward all mankind, it need only be
stated that he was an honored member
OF Tinta Lodge A. +. & A. NJ, of Lang
ford, and also OF the A. O.. u. ".
and NJ. ". A., Of pierpont, s. d. For
many years he was a member OF the /.
O. @. +. Lodge OF Chatsworth, ILL.,, and
in his life he exempliied our motto OF
Friendship, love and truth"
