NECROLOGY

Funeral of Miss Pearl Hart

UTICA, Miss., Jan. 8 - The remains of Miss Pearl Hart, one of the most popular young women of this town, who died at the Jackson Sanitarium, were interned in the local cemetery. Miss Hart, who had been in bad health for some time, was taken violently ill with appendicitis Dec. 24, and was carried to the sanitarium in the hope that an operation might relieve her, but was too weak to undergo it in arrival there. It became evident, however, that she could not live without it, and it was performed as a last resort, but her condition was so bad that she only lived a few days afterward. Miss Hart was president of the local chapter U. D. C., and was a daughter of Major T. T. Hart, one of the best-known and most prominent citizens of this section, who died a few years ago. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Ramsey. Miss Hart leaves two sisters and two brothers.
