HART LAID TO REST The greatest hopes of all the people of this community were blighted on last Thursday evening when the news came that Clifford Hart who for the past six months had strenuously and vigorously fought the grim reaper must at last submit, and when the final news came a few hours later that he had passed away there was deep sorrow in the hearts of many close friends. Death always brings sadness, but none that has come to this community has been more universally or keenly felt. Clifford’s high character and sunny personality brought him in close touch with a wide circle of friends, he was a business man of rare ability with an exceptionally bright future. It is sad indeed that he was taken in the bloom of youth when his opportunities and ability for doing good and casting sunshine and cheer in every walk of life had just begun. It was always a pleasure to meet him, no matter where. He always had a pleasant word that meant so much, his pleasing smile and unstinted kindness will be keenly felt, but will never forgotten. Clifford E. Hart was born at Bloomington, Idaho, January 8th, 1895 and when quite young moved to Nampa, Idaho, where he grew to manhood and graduated from the high school of that place in the fall of 1911. He was also an athlete of great ability, strong in physic which gave me a place in the athletics of the school. He was married to Alice Bader of Nampa of January 12th, 1916, where they continued to live until 1919 during which time he began his career as a business man, being employed by the Heilner Grocery Co, and later for Miller & Coshoe, he was a member of the Elks Lodge of Nampa, and also a member of the L. D. S. Church of that place. On December 17th, 1919, he moved to Payette where he began in business for himself as a partner with his brother-in-law Austin Anson, as a member of the Anson-Hart Grocery Co., where he soon became familiarly known and a favorite in the community, and where he continued in business until six months ago when he was stricken with typhoid fever which was followed by bafling complications and two months ago was removed to St. Alfonsis Hospital at Boise where together with the constant and tender care of Mrs. Hart, skilled physicians, and his own never faultering courage, everything was done for his recovery but to no avail and the end came at nine o’clock, January 21, 1926. Besides his wife and one daughter, Lois Elane, 7 years of age, he is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. James Hart, of Salt Lake, one brother, James B. Hart of Nampa, and five sisters, Mrs. W. A. Wilcox, of Nampa; Vella L. Hart, Mrs. Rodney Farnes and Mrs. Erma Walling of Salt Lake, and Mrs. A. L. Goates of Springfield, Utah. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at Nampa, from the Elk’s Home conducted by Bishop Peter Johnson of the Latter Day Saints church, where attesting to his popularity in Payette were scores of people who drove to Nampa to attend the funeral.
