GARAGE CHANGES HANDS
or twelve years, greatly endearing
herself to those with whom she labor
ed. She was an active member of the
Presbyterian church and was a tire
less worker in the young people’s so
ciety of her church. Mrs. Hart pos
sessed a voice of unusual sweetness
and through her singing contributed
much to the pleasure of those around
her. She was a member of the music
club and the book club.
Mrs. Hart’s most outstanding char
acteristic was her unselfishness. Al
ways she put others first, and in her
home life sought out the most pleas
ant paths not for herself but for her
mother and the other members of
the family. Quiet and unassuming, she
did not court attention but her friends
saw in her such beautiful womanly
virtues and such true Christian worth
that they gave her a higher place in
their esteem than it is the privilege of
many to enjoy.

district engineer Division A of the
State Highway Commission at New
