DARTT - Albert P. Dartt Succumbs following a long illness- Brief Sketch of his life-- Once more Wellsboro is called upon to mourn the passing of one of her prominent citizens, Albert P. Dartt, who departed this life last friday afternoon at fiveo'clock at his home on West avenue.   The deceased was stricken nearly four years ago with a malady that progressed steadily and relentlessly, in spite of all that medical science and loving ministration could do to stem its tide, until, his indomitable will and naturally robust vitality  worn out by the constant struggle, the deceased's mortal body yielded and his spirit was released to enter a better world. "Al" Dartt, as he was known to his friends, who are legion, was a man upon whom a great many had come to lean.  His advice in business affairs was   eagerly sought and never withheld. He was generous in his dealings with his fellow men, the soul of integrity and honor, despising sham and hypocrisy, pursuing his way and discharging his duties and obligations according to the best light that an allwise providence had given him. Mr. Dartt's home life was ideal. He was a kind and loving husband and father, ever solicitous for the welfare and happiness of his dear ones, ministering to them at all times with an affection and all absorbing interest that was a wonderful reflection of that kindly spirit of love wich God endowed him. As a neighbor and friend he was always as " the shadow of a great rock in a weary land".  Albert P. Dartt was born in Wellsboro December 11th 1861, the son of Hiram W. and Adeline Potter Dartt. He attended the Wellsboro schools and, upon completion of the course, entered the employ of his father in the old red wagon shop that stood on West avenue,where he was trained in the art that gave the Dartt made wagon an enviable reputation throughout an extensive territory. In 1884 the subject of this sketch purchased the business wherein he had spent his years of apprenticeship and continued on the original site until 1889, when his brother Edgar S. Dartt (since deceased) became associated with him and the business was moved to East avenue where they continued to grow until their producct became celbrated over a vast territory. In 1912, exercising that sound business discretion that has always obtained in his activities, the deceased recognized that the automobile was destined to be the universal means of travel, and with that view in mind secured the agency for the Ford car and since that time has enjoyed an automobile business that is probably the leading one of this entire section of the country. The Dartt Carriage and Auto Company , of which the deceased was the directing head, was formed in 1917. And, as a result largely of the enviable reputation enjoyed by him the business has grown to a tremendous volumn. The beautiful new garage on East avenue, stands as a fit monument to his memory. Mr. Dartt was vitally interested in everything relating to the community welfare, his rare business ability and sound discretion making his presence on the borough council, where he served for years a valuable asset to the public good. He was Burgess for several successive terms. His membership in the directorate of the First National Bank of Wellsboro, only added another valuable asset to that institution. The deceased was a member of I.O.O.F. and thee Ossea Lodge F. and A.M. He united with the Presbyterian churcch many years ago and has been one of its most active supporters.  In the passing of "Al" Dartt this entire community has suffered a loss that will long be felt in its business, social and religious activities. In October 1887 the deceased was united in marriage with Carrie M. Cox of Gen. and Mrs R.C. Cox this union one child Mildred M. was born Mrs. Dartt died in Feburary 1891 and Mildred departet this life in October 1919.     March 20, 1895, Mr. Dartt was joined in wedlock with Sara M., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Williams, who with one daughter Florence, ia left to mourn the taking away of this kind and loving husband and father. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Effie Dartt Smith, of Scranton, and Mrs. F. R. Benjamin. of Wellsboro, and one brother Arthur H., also of Wellsboro. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at five o"clocl from the late home of the deceased on West avenue. Rev. O. G. Cocks , of the First Presbyterian church, officiating; interment in the family plot in Wellsboro cemetery.  Respectfully submitted Charles Swasey

DUNSMORE -  LAWYER DIES AS HE PLEADS FOR CLIENT
Wellsboro—Andrew Baird Dunsmore’s life closed dramatically here Tuesday afternoon as he addressed a jury in behalf of his client. He suffered a heart attack. His daughter and granddaughter sat near him as he sank to the floor dead before the stunned jurors, court officials and spectators. He was 72 years of age, a former United States district attorney and an important factor in Pennsylvania Republican councils. He had, apparently, been in unusually good health and in his morning court work Tuesday had displayed his usual vigor. The case in which he was interested was that of the Commonwealth against Gerald Treat, he appearing for the defense. Testimony was completed at the morning session and Mr. Dunsmore began his address to the jury as soon as Judge Thomas A. Crichton reconvened court. He had spoken for about five minutes when, without warning, he lurched and fell near the witness stand. There was an instant’s shocked silence as audience tried to grasp what had happened. Then those nearest the stricken man hurried to his side to make him comfortable while a court attendant raced out, returning with Dr. William Bache who found the attorney beyond medical help. Mr. Dunsmore died a few minutes after the physician arrived. In the courtroom were Mr. Dunsmore’s daughter, Mrs. Janet Dunsmore Hill, and her 3-year-old daughter, Marcia Hill, who reside at the Dunsmore home. Judge Crichton at once adjourned the August term of court. Coroner William F. White pronounced death due to pulmonary thrombosis. In addition to his prominence in Pennsylvania legal circles, Mr. Dunsmore was known throughout the Northern Tier as a former Representative in the Pennsylvania Legislature, as a leader in Tioga County Republican affairs and as an active Mason. Twice he had been chairman of the Tioga County Republican Committee. He was chosen the first time in 1894, serving a short time. In 1935, after his retirement as United States Attorney, he was again named chairman, succeeding Prof. James G. Morgan of Mansfield. Mr. Dunsmore was born at Morris Run, Jan. 4, 1866, a son of John and Janet Baird Dunsmore, who were natives of Scotland. He was graduated from the Blossburg schools and completed a science course at the Mansfield Normal in 1884. He was principal and teacher in Arnot schools for 18 months after which he spent two years on his father’s farm. He studied in the law offices of Attys. John L. Mitchell and David B. Cameron at Wellsboro and was admitted to the Tioga County Bar in 1889 and in 1895 was elected Tioga County district attorney in which office he served two three-year terms. From 1905 to 1909 he was a member of the Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives. In 1909 he was appointed Assistant U. S. District Attorney for Pennsylvania’s middle district, and U. S. District Attorney two years later. He served in that capacity two decades under two democratic administrations, although he was a life long Republican. He returned to Wellsboro about three years ago after spending several years concluding the business of the federal office. Prominent in Masonry, he was a member of Ossea Lodge, 317, F&AM, a member of the Williamsport Consistory and Ismailia Temple Shrine of Buffalo. He was a member of the State Bar Association, the Wellsboro Rotary Club and the Newmuk Rod & Club. He was a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal vestry and president of the Wellsboro Water Company. He married Sarah Ball of Honesdale, May 17, 1894, who died several years ago. They had one child, Mrs. Hill. Besides his daughter and grandchild, he leaves two brothers, James of South Fork, Pa., and William of ZanTups, Calif; a sister, Mrs. Kate Moris, of Tacoma Park Wash. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the family home on West Ave. The Rev. Albert K. Hayward of St. Paul’s Episcopal church will officiate and burial will be in the Wellsboro Cemetery.
