DART DIES EARLY TODAY—One of Brunswick’s Oldest Citizens and Newspaper Men Died Suddenly at His Home Early This Morning. Mr. Edgar M.

Mr. Dart was stricken ill Sunday night, but rallied yesterday and was not thought to be in any immediate danger, but death came as a distinct shock this morning. Mr. Dart was business manager of The Banner, and up to a year ago had been business manger of the News for about fifteen years. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. J.S. Lambright and Mrs. W.C. Wilkins of Brunswick. The Brunswick News; Wednesday 12 July 1922; pg. 1 col. 6 FUNERAL E.M. DART THIS AFTERNOON—Will Take Place at 3 O’clock From First Methodist and Interment Will Be Held in Oak Grove Cemetery. The funeral of E.M. Dart, who died at a very early hour yesterday morning, will occur from the First Methodist church at 3 o’clock this afternoon, Rev. T.H. Thompson, officiating. The sudden death of Mr. Dart coming with such suddenness was a severe shock to his friends. In fact, very few people knew that he was even confined to his home. He was stricken Sunday evening and, while seriously ill all day Monday, physicians attending did not regard his case as being critical. However, about 4 o’clock yesterday morning, he was seized with a violent heart attack and died before medical aid could be called. Mr. Dart was sixty-seven years old and has resided in Brunswick all of his life. For many years he was engaged in the mercantile business and at one time conducted one of the largest concerns of the kind in the city. Some twenty years ago, however, he took up the newspaper work and has been constantly engaged in it since that time. For fifteen of these years, he was at the head of the business department of the News and just a year ago, left that service for employment on the afternoon paper. Mr. Dart was an indefatigable worker; was possessed of really a wonderful energy and in the work in which he was engaged he always threw his whole interest. He was a member of the First Methodist church, and for many years was a leading figure in the local lodge of Woodmen of the World, to which he was devoted. The deceased is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Julia Lambright and Mrs. W.T. Wilkins both of whom reside in Brunswick. He also leaves a large circle of other relatives in this city. The interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery and the pallbearers will be W.F. Symons, Claude Dart, E.W. Dart, C.H. Leavy, J.C. Garwood and Dr. J.W. Simmons.
