Winchester, Ky., Jan. 11 - Mrs. Mary Hart, widow of Josiah Hart, and mother of the late Deputy Sheriff George M. Hart, who was murdered on the streets of Winchester, died at her home on the Eaton pike last night at about 10:30 o'clock, after an illness of about two weeks of pneumonia. She was about 78 years of age.
Mrs. Hart, since the death of her husband last August and the tragic murder of her son in November, had been anxiously awaiting the summons, and was ready and willing to answer the call of death.
Mrs. Hart was formerly Miss Mary Moore, a daughter of William Moore, and was born in Bath County. She is survived by the following children: Mrs. J.D. Hanna, of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Taylor Fryer, of Louisiana, Mo.; Mrs. Matt Chinn, of Biloxi, Miss.; Mrs. Henry Ramsey, of Lexington; Mrs. Kirby Wills and Miss Ida Hart, of this city; and Mr. William Hart, of Clark County, all of whom were at her bedside when the end came.
Two sisters, Mrs. Martha Kennedy and Mrs. Lewis, and a brother, William Moore, all of Bath County, also are living.
The funeral will be held at the residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Elder J.W. Harding and Rev. J.H. MacNeill. The pallbearers will be Levi Goff, James S. Wade, Reuben Franklin, T.C. Lyon, W.P. Winn and T.R. McDonald. The body will be laid to rest in the Winchester cemetery.
Mrs. Chinn, a daughter of Mrs. Hart, has known an untold amount of sorrow during the past year, having lost her husband, her father and mother and a brother within six months.
