Mr. James
A. Hart received news Sunday evening, Feb. 9th, of the death from
smallpox of his daughter, Rosamond Price Hart, which occurred Jan.
11th, in Shanghai, China. Miss Hart had been teaching in the American
Presbyterian mission at Shanghai since September, 1912.
She
was born in Winnisheik county, In., May 18, 1869. She is survived by
her father, James A. Hart, of this town; five sisters, Mrs. J. M.
Vance, Mankato, Minn.; Mrs. H. J. Bowder, Comstock, In.; Mrs. R. J.
Garbutt, Lambeth, Ont.; Mrs. C. E. Guthrie, Seattle, Wash., and Mrs.
C. E. Genetson, Willmar, Minn., and three brothers, Thomas W., Hart,
and James E. Hart, Minneapolis, and Stephen Hart, Eureka, Ill.
The
remains were cremated by her request, and will be returned for burial
in the churchyard at her birthplace on Washington Prairie, Winnisheik
county, In., where her mother, Arosamond Price Hart, was buried. Her
mother and father were native Canadians, both being born in Norfolk
county. They emigrated to Iowa and settled in Washington Prairie in
1856.
Miss Hart had
spent many years in mission work in foreign countries chiefly in China
and India, though her travels had taken her around the world....
