It was sad news indeed that traveled to the most remote places in Bear Lake county last Sunday morning announcing the death of S Hermoine Hart Roberts. Hermoine, as she was so universally called was married to David Roberts of Bloomington last February and died of heart trouble at 8 am Sunday morning, October 1st. On September 13th a sweet little girl was born but only lived seven days. The little one only weighed two and one half pounds which was packed in cotton ad placed in a basket.
Early Sunday morning Dr. Hayward stepped into the room and Hermoine, who was setting up in bed, remarked in her cheerful manner, "Doctor what have you called for?" Because of her great love for her mother and loved ones, she remained cheerful until the very last. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H Hart and was born in Salt Lake City on the 18th day of July 1875. graduated at the A C College in Logan Utah in 1897 and received the degree of BS. During most of her time since, she has been teaching school in the various settlements in Bear Lake county. In 1906 she was elected Superintendent of Public Instruction and re-elected in 1908 and fulfilled the requirements of this responsibility with ability and fidelity.
The funeral services held in Bloomington Tuesday were beautiful and impressive. Pres. Joseph R Shepherd, W W Richards, Roy A Welker, O C Dunford and Mrs. Annie Laker were the speakers. Hermoine has returned back home, but her memory will always remain in the hearts of the citizens of Bear Lake County.
