Cleo May Green, daughter of Peter S. and
Sarah Dorcas Green, and wife of Howard E. Hart, was born near Promise City,
Iowa, in Wayne county, May 18, 1893, and passed away after an illness of about
two years, December 15, 1943, at the St. Joseph hospital in Centerville,
Iowa. Her age at the time of death was
50 years, six months and 27 days.
She spent the early part of her life in Wayne
county. In January, 1910, she was
married to Howard Hart and three children were born to this happy and devoted
couple: Mrs. Harriette Hefner of Jerome, Loren and Harold of the U.S. Navy.
On January 17, 1915, she gave her heart to
Christ by uniting with the Methodist church at Promise City and although she
had resided in Jerome for the past 12 years she still retained her membership
in the former church.
Her
parents and two sisters preceded her in death.
Left to mourn her passing are three brothers: Ferren of Bethlehem, Iowa;
Everett of Sewal, Iowa, and a two brother, Clyde, of Rock Island, Ill. Also two grandchildren, Colleen and Norman
Hefner of Jerome, besides other relatives and a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Hart will always be remembered as a very
devoted wife and a very dependable and understanding friend and helpful
neighbor. She was gifted with the grace to suffer with patience and without complaint
and a genial smile generally greeted those who came to see her even when her
condition was most critical. Today Jerome deeply mourns the loss of one of her
most beloved citizens and the church one of her most courageous members, who
leaves behind a beautiful and noble example of patience and resignation to the
will of God.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev.
M. R. Gonzales, Friday at 2:00 p.m., at the Jerome Methodist church with Mrs.
Dave Workman at the piano. Mrs. Lita
Bollman, Mrs. Marcella Workman and Mrs. Genevieve Minks sang three comforting
hymns: “Ivory Palaces,” “No Night There” and “Going Down the Valley.” She was
laid to rest in the Jerome cemetery.
