Mrs, H. c. Hart Dead.

Last Saturday evening at 7:15 Mrs.
Henry G. Hart died after an illness of
five weeks with typhoid fever. She
was the widow of the late Judge FL. G.
Hart, and was one of our most highly
esteemed ladies', having lived here
during practically all of her compare
lively short life. She was member
of the M. e, Church, and had wide
circle of loving friends who we're
bowed in sorrow at the announcement
of her death,
Funeral services were held Monday
morning at 10 o'clock over the remains
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Cress-
man, on Spring street, with whom she
had resided since June. Everything
that loving hands could do had been
done to rob the place of its gloom as
| the remains reposed in the drawing
room in beautiful white metallic
casket laden with the choicest floral
offerings from her many friends.
The large concourse of people that
assembled attested the high esteem in
which she was held by the people of
this, her lifelong home. There were
present friends from Knoxville, Jones'
boro, GreenevilIe, Bristol, Elizabeth
ton and Milligan.
The services we're conducted by
Chaplain J. A. Ruble, of the National
Soldiers Home, assisted by DIR. Rob
nette, pastor of the First M, E.
church. DIR. Ruble's association with
Mrs. Harris family has been very un-
usual, he having married her father
and mother, and after many years of
ficiated at the funeral of each, and in
the last ten months has spoken words
of consolation and comfort over all thai
was earthly of both.
Beautiful music was rendered by {
auartette composed of Mrs. Charles
Biddle, Miss Lena Barton, Messrs
Worley Willard and J. W. Cass, &C
eompanied by Mrs. J. A. Cargille
