MISS ANNA MARY HART.
  
  Miss Anna Mary Hart, one of Hollidaysburg's most estimable women, 
died yesterday at 5:15 o'clock at the home of her sister, Mrs. John
O'Brien, of North Juniata street, of a complication of diseases.  Since
the death of her mother, Mrs. Barbara Hart, which occurred on April 9,
1918, Miss Hart had made her home with Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien.  Last July
she took a trip to Pittsburg, and to various points in Minnesota to
visit relatives, returning home last November.  For the past year or so
she had been in poor health but was only taken seriously ill a short
time ago.  She was a daughter of the late Joseph and Barbara Hart and
was born on April 30, 1855, having resided during her whole lifetime at
Hollidaysburg.  In her girlhood days she became a member of St. Mary's
church of this place and was organist of the church for twenty-five
years.  She was always a devout Christian woman, taking a prominent
part in the affairs of her church, in which she was looked upon as a
leader; was possessed of a kindly, winning disposition that made
everyone a warm friend and the whole community will learn of her demise
with the profoundest sorrow. She was patient and faithful to every
trust, taking the best of care of her mother in her declining days, and
has gone to receive the rich reward that she so truly merits.  She is
survived by these brothers and sisters: Martin, William and John Hart,
and Mrs. John O'Brien, all of Hollidaysburg, and Mrs. E. S. Nolan, of
Pittsburg.  The funeral services will be held at St. Mary's church on
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock and interment will be made in St. Mary's
cemetery.
