                           DEATHS
Hart—
Perry Hart, Sr., died suddenly from leakage of the heart Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock while seated in his automobile in the Falls City base ball park where he had gone to watch Falls City and Seneca ball teams. Mr. Harts collapse came so suddenly there was hope for a time that he might be resuscitated and a pulmotor was used for 2 hours, but without any sign of restoring life. Mr. Hart complained of a hurting in his chest but said a few minutes later that he felt better and was alone in the car when the end came. Ham Willard, of Falls City, had his car parked next to the Hart car. Mr. Willard noticed that Mr. Harts head was bent forward and almost resting on his chest and he was breathing heavy. Help was soon at hand and the dying man was removed from the car. Dr. J. C. Gillispie gave first aid but it was useless—the spark of life had fled. It did not seem possible that the same Perry Hart, who only a few minutes before was in robust health, was dead. He was removed at once to Reavis undertaking room where for 2 hours doctors, relatives and friends watched with aching hearts in the hope that the pulmotor might restore life. Saturday afternoon he played ball with the fats at Farmers picnic at Hiawatha fairgrounds. He was an old time ball player. Perry Hart was born on the Thomas Hart farm 2 miles southeast of Reserve Nov. 28, 1865, and would have been 54 years old his next birthday. His father was one of Brown countys pioneers, having settled here in 1856. All of Perry Harts life was spent on that farm with exception of about 6 months, which was spent in Reserve. That little city loved him, every man, woman and child; loved him because of his jovial and kindly ways and because he was a man among his fellowmen. Reserve people asked Perry Hart to be their mayor, only a few weeks after he had moved to town. He said he would serve if his people wanted him. They elected him. The Farmers Union Co-operative association wanted a good man to act as its head in Reserve, none better than Perry Hart could be found. He accepted the place and filled it with credit to himself and his co-workers. That has been Perry Harts way all thru life—willing to serve wherever he could be helpful. There was nothing selfish about this man. He was liberal and broad in his views and well posted on lifes daily affairs. Besides his widow he is survived by 2 children—Perry Hart, Jr., who was his fathers pal, and Mrs. Nell Burchard, a nurse who is in the city hospital, Kansas City; 3 brothers and 2 sisters also survive—William Hart, who lives in Seattle, Wash.; Jack Hart, who resides in Colorado Springs; Harvey Hart, of Hiawatha; Mrs. R. M. Steward, of Reserve, and Mrs. J. M. Davis, of Hiawatha. Little Gerald Hart-Burchard, a grandson, made his home with his grandparents and the child was the apple of the grandfathers eye. A multitude of friends in all parts of Brown county have paused to pay silent tribute to the memory of a man they loved and respected, which after all is better that bank accounts and land possessions. The funeral services were held at the home in Reserve Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. L. L. Hassenpflug, of Hiawatha.
The body bearers were Sam Stewart, Perry Hart, Jr., Harvey Hart, Robert Cornelison, Wm. Evans and Dr. Gillispie. Burial was made in the Hart cemetery. Many friends came to pay their last respects to their neighbor and friend. When the first of the funeral procession reached the cemetery 2 miles away, some of them had not yet left the Hart home.
