daughters, grand children of the de-
ceased, and a granddaughter, Mrs.
Li/./ic Johnson,of Mitchelville. Iowa,
besides ten great grandchildren. All
of the deceased's remaining three
children, out of eleven, were by her
bedside at the time of her demise.
Mrs. Hart came to Guthrie in 1 s«*0

two remaining daughters who lived
here. Prior to that time since 1858
she had resided in ami nearlola. Kan-
