CLIFFORD HART PASSES BEYOND
 
ONE OF PAYETTE'S MOST PROGRESSIVE AND POPULAR BUSINESS MEN SUCCUMBS AFTER 
ILLNESS COVERING A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS.

July 20th last Clifford Hart, one of Payette's leading young business men was 
suddenly stricken by what was pronounced typhoid fever and at once the entire 
community became deeply interested in his welfare, the wish of all being that 
his illness although reported serious from the start, might be of short 
duration and that he be back in his place of business. However, as the days, 
weeks and months passed he lay at his home in this city hovering between life 
and death, a complication of troubles having set in. Brave to the last, he put 
up a wonderful fight against the ravages of disease and each reverse would be 
succeeded by a revival of his spirits and those around him.

About two months ago he was taken to Boise for treatment and at first 
encouraging reports come from there, but they were not lasting and finally it 
was decided that a transfusion of blood was all that could save him. 
Volunteers were called for and a score of Payette friends and as many more 
from Nampa promptly responded. After tests were made a half dozen were 
selected and the process of transferring new blood to his veins began. He at 
once started to improve rapidly and the process was repeated two or three 
times with wonderfully beneficial results. He gained eleven pounds and there 
was every indication that he was on the way to complete recovery.

Another transfusion was given him last Wednesday, and following this it was 
soon noticed that a change had come over him. Evidently his weakened heart had 
been overtaxed, and the physicians soon decided that the end was near. Mr. 
Anson, his partner, was summoned to Boise about midnight and he, with the 
faithful wife and other members of his family, kept vigil until the end which 
came peacefully Thursday night. The great fight had been lost and death had 
claimed as it's victim another shining light and one beloved by all who knew 
him.

Clifford Ellingham Hart was born January 8, 1895, at Bloomington, Idaho. He 
graduated from the high school at Nampa in 1911. On January 12, 1916, he was 
united in marriage to Alice Rader, and was engaged in clerking for the Hellner 
Grocery Company. Later he took a position with Hillier and Coshoe of Nampa and 
remained there until December, 1919, when he moved to Payette and went into 
the grocery business here with Austin Anson, the firm being known as the Anson-
Hart Grocery Company. His courteous treatment of his customers and pleasing 
personality won him a veritable host of friends and business grew and 
prospered.

One child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Lois Elane, seven years of age, and 
in addition to the bereaved wife he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
James E. Hart of Salt Lake, one brother, James B. Hart of Nampa, and five 
sisters, Mrs. W. A. Wilcox of Nampa, Vella L. Hart, Mrs. Rodney Farnes of Salt 
Lake, and Mrs. Erma B. Walling, Salt Lake, and Mrs. A. L. Goates of 
Springville, Utah.

Funeral services were held at the Elk's Hall in Nampa, Sunday afternoon, and 
was under the auspices of the Elks' Lodge. The address of the Exalted Ruler of 
the Elks Lodge was pronounced as one of the finest ever heard in that city. 
The funeral discourse was delivered by Heber Q. Hale, president of the Boise 
Stake of the Latter Day Saint's church, of which the deceased was a member. 
His was a wonderful eloquent tribute to the life and character of one who had 
been friend and companion in the years gone by. The funeral was one of the 
largest ever held in Nampa, less than half of those attending being able to 
gain admittance into the spacious hall. There was a large attendance from 
Payette, his business associates and friends showing their esteem, for him by 
their presence. Interment took place at Nampa.

(Several unreadable words) death of a Payette citizen which created more 
profound grief. Clean, honorable, manly and light hearted Cliff Hart was one 
of those rare men who captivate one on first acquaintance. Always considerate 
of others, always willing to do his part whether in the large affairs of the 
city or carrying good cheer into the homes of the needy, he was at all times a 
useful and worthy citizen. In his death Payette and his wife and little 
daughter, who have the deepest sympathy of us all, have suffered a great loss.

Card of Thanks
We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness and for the beautiful 
floral offerings during the illness and death of our dear husband and father. 
Mrs. Clifford E. Hart and Lois Hart
