The Death of Lansing G. Hart
Lansing G. Hart, one of our choicest and best known young married men, died at 5 o'clock this morning at the home of Mrs. Hart's mother, Mrs. Wm. G. Ferson. His illness has been long and trying but through it all, he has been patient and cheerful, and while he realized that death was very near, he faced the inevitable with unflinching christian courage and at the last with undimmed faith he closed his eyes in death as serenely as though dropping off to sleep. Mr. Hart was born in this city 39 years ago and this has been his home ever since.
He married Miss Nettie Ferson, who was also a native of Niles and his life has been a most happy and contented one. During the last year Mrs. Hart and their only surviving child Mabel, accompanied him on his business trips. His employers ever mindful of his health, gave him the southern field enabling him to spend the autumn and winter in Florida and the Gulf states. He continued to travel until increasing weakness admonished him that his work ended, when he returned to Niles to die as he said, among his friends. The funeral will take place at Mrs. Ferson's, at 3 p.m., Wednesday 30th inst.
