The Brunswick News; Wednesday 24 January 1912; pg. col. 2

JUDGE DART IS CALLED TO REST—One of Brunswick’s Oldest and Best Known Citizens 
Passed Away Yesterday.

Judge Horace Dart is dead.  While this news will not come as a surprise to his 
hundreds of friends throughout the city, still it will be received with 
genuine sorrow.

Judge Dart’s condition has been serious for the past several weeks and his 
death has been momentarily expected for the last two or three days.  The end 
came yesterday morning at 8 o’clock, when, at his home in Urbana, where many 
years of his life had been spent, he breathed his last, surrounded by the 
members of his family and others.

The death of Judge Horace Dart takes away one of Brunswick’s best known and 
oldest citizens; a figure which has been conspicuous since Brunswick was a 
mere village, and who was known and loved by probably more friends than any 
other man in the city.  Judge Dart was of that old type of citizen—the old 
Southern gentlemen—which is so rapidly diminishing, and of which there are so 
few now left among us.

The deceased was born April 17, 1837, and was therefore in his 76th year.  He 
was married on August 17, 1863, to Hattie Ashcraft, who passed away in 
November, 1907.  He is survived by two sons, Claude Dart and Edwin W. Dart, 
and three brothers, J.E. and W.R. Dart, of this city, and Frank Dart of 
Douglas; together with a large number of other relatives.

Judge Dart has served, during his life in Brunswick, many positions of honor 
and trust.  In 1892 he was elected to the office of ordinary of Glynn county, 
which position he has ably filled ever since, never having been opposed for 
reelection.  He was commander of Camp Jackson, Confederate veterans, and the 
members of this camp will attend his funeral in a body this morning.  Judge 
Dart was one of the remaining members of the old Brunswick Riflemen, [he] 
marched away to fight for the South early in the 60’s.  Though a full company 
left this city when the call to arms was sent out, one by one they have passed 
to the Great Beyond, until now there are only one or two still living.  Judge 
Dart served thru the entire war with his company, and, returning to Brunswick 
after the conflict was over, engaged in business and has resided here 
continuously ever since.  He has always evinced great interest in the 
Confederate veterans, and has occupied the position of commander of the local 
camp for many years.

The funeral will be held this morning at 10 o’clock, the services being 
conducted by Revs. Loy Warwick and F.D. Thomas.  The following gentlemen will 
act as pallbearers:  W.H. Berrie, J.T. Lambright, D.W. Krauss, R.S. Pyles, 
H.F. duBignon and H.J. Read.
