to Beeville on the night train for interment. Funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church 
Tuesday a. m. at 9 0'clock, Father Dan Laning conducted the rites. Interment was in

Mr. Hart was born in Ireland. His father, Teddy Hart died and was buried at sea, when he and his 
wife, Mary Hart, were in route to America with their children as members of the Power and 
Hewetson Colony. Mrs. Hart was given the league and labor of land which would have gone to 
her husband had he lived.

Mr. Hart was married to Miss Gussie WEST, (Augusta) Oct. 21, 1878 in Refugio where his mother had 
established her home and the couple moved at once to the Papalote section of Bee County. He 
continued his residence there for many years, returning to Refugio for two years to take care of his 
mother in her illness.

Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hart, two of whom, Claud and Dick Hart, survive and reside in 
San Antonio. A son, Tom Hart, died seven months ago at Lake Charles, Louisiana. A daughter, 
Mary Ellen died shortly after her marriage to E. J. Miller, of this city some years ago.  A twin sister of 
Mrs. Miller died in infancy.

Mr. and Mrs. Hart moved from the ranch at Papalote to Skidmore following the death of their daughter. 
Mrs. Hart died there in 1918, after which Mr. Hart came to Beeville to make his home with his 
brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Betz, for two years. In 1920, he went to San Antonio to reside 
with his son and had continued to make his home there for some time. He had been an invalid but 
his passing was sudden and unexpected.
