MAJOR R.E. DART DIES EARLY TODAY IN JACKSONVILLE

Information was received in the city today of the death in Jacksonville early
this morning of Major R. Ernest Dart, former prominent Brunswick attorney, who
had made his home in the Florida city for a number of years. Mr. Dart has
been ill for the past several weeks and underwent an operation in St.
Vincent’s hospital in that city Tuesday.

Born in Brunswick, Mr. Dart spent all of his early life here. He graduated
from Glynn Academy and later attended the law school of Virginia University,
and after his graduation practiced his profession in this city for many years,
later moving to Jacksonville where for a time he was associated with the late

He took an active part in state military circles while in Brunswick, and for a
number of years was captain of the Brunswick Riflemen. He was later made a
major in the Georgia National Guard. He was also identified with various
other Brunswick organizations during his residence here. He was a member of
the well known and prominent Glynn county Dart family and has a large number
of relatives now residing here.

Mr. Dart is survived by his widow, and three children, by a former marriage,
Mrs. Bufort Finley, a teacher at the University of Florida in Gainesville;
Mrs. Jack Hottel of Trenton, N.J., and Robert Ernest Dart, Jr. of Riverhead,
N.Y., and one sister, Mrs. Russell Richards, of Atlanta. Burial will be in
Brunswick on Monday, but details were not known today. Mr. Dart’s parents and
a brother are buried in Oak Grove cemetery and it is expected he will also be
