Later the family lived at 1327 Oak Street and finally moved to the home just south of the First Presbyterian church on north Fourth Street. There Miss Hart lived 40 years until she left Niles six years ago to join her sister in Fergus Falls.
Surviving with the sister are two nephews and a niece, Dr. Russell T. Hart and Mrs. W.C. Huff, Niles, and Floyd Smith, Fergus Falls.
