*Obituary

PADUCAH, Oct. 25 (Special) - Funeral services were conducted here this afternoon for Charlie Hart who as a boy used to run errands for Quanah Parker, famous Indian Chief. Hart was 74 years old.

Services were held in First Baptist Church with Rev. Jim Biddy, pastor of East Side Baptist Church, officiating. Burial was in Garden of Memory Cemetery under direction of Norris Funeral Home.

Mr. Hart died yesterday in a Quanah Hospital. He was stricken with a heart attack Monday night at his home here.

Mr. Hart was born in Commanche but at an early age moved to Snyder, Okla., with his parents. He came to the Vernon-Quanah country when in his early teens. He started working on the Burkburnette Ranch in 1895 as a cowboy and he was associated with both Burk and Tom Burnett and the Burnett estate until three years ago when he retired and moved to Paducah where he erected a beautiful ranch style home.

But he loved the open range so well that he built a house on his ranch 20 miles east of here and last week he sold the home in town and planned to move to the ranch.

Mr. Hart and Mary Alice Melton were married in 1910 at Guthrie. In 1941 he married Mrs. Ora Marie Gilbert in Paducah. She survives.

Others survivors are four children, S.B. Hart, Falfurrias, and Vernon E. Hart, in the US Navy; two daughters, Mrs. Ben D. Lee and Miss Frances Hart, both of Wichita Falls, three step-children, Billy Jo Gilbert, Paducah, Al Gilbert, Midland, and Mrs. Ray McClendon, Estelline, a stepgranddaughter, Jean Ann Lee, a brother, M.L. Hart, Lubbock, and two sisters, Mrs. Fate Johnson, Breckenridge and Miss Sally Hart, Hobart, Okla.
