-----
Mrs. Elizabeth Carhart, aged 89 years 7 months, died Wednesday night at the home of her son, George W. Carhart, Seventh and Langdon streets after an illness since last June. Mrs. Carhart met with an accident last June, which caused injuries that resulted in her death. She arose one night after she had retired and while trying to make her way about the house in a dazed condition she walked to the head of the stairs and fell down. She was very severely hurt and was not able to get up from her bed afterward. She exhibited remarkable vitality, however, and lingered more than thee months.
Mrs. Carhart had lived in Alton most of her life. She raised her family in the city, of which two sons only survive, Mr. W. N. Carhart, of Terre Haute, Ind., and Mr. George W. Carhart, with whom she made her home. Her husband died many years ago.
Mrs. Carhart had lived in Alton 70 years, having come here from her birthplace, Dover, Pa., when a young lady. She was married in Alton and lived here all her life subsequent to her removal here. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock from the home of Mr. G. W. Carhart and Rev. M. H. Ewers will conduct the services.
