Mrs. Julia Widrig Wart, 88, lifelong resident of Sandy Creek, died at the Evergreens Nursing Home, Mannsville, Tuesday evening, July 30, 1963. She had been a patient at the nursing home since October 1957.
The funeral will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the Weston and Woodard funeral home with the Rev. Robert Bird, pastor of the Sandy Creek Methodist Church officiating. Burial will the in Woodlawn cemetery. Bearers will be Glenn Billings, Kent Steele, William Potter, Theodore Lundgren, Carl Burritt and Leland Bumpus.
Born in the town of Sandy Creek on Oct. 25, 1874, she was the daughter of William and Juliet West Widrig. Both her father and mother were well known figures in, the early history of the town, and from records that she kept, and from memory of the past, she was able to recall many important historical incidents of the town and the area.
Her keen interest in local history proved valuable at many times during her life and on innumerable occasions the News was indebted to her for information. She also contributed several articles when a series of historical sketches was being published.
Learned Milliner's Trade
Julia Widrig attended the local school and after leaving school, apprenticed in the millinery trade under the late Alice Bass Austen. She worked at this trade for several years, spending the summers in various localities in the state, including Richfield Springs and Warsaw. Later she was the manager of the World's Branch, a department store located where the Atlantic gas station now stands. Her last business enterprise was that of an unusual second hand store which she operated for many years in her home on North Main street. This business was unique because the operation was on a commission basis and she accepted only high quality used clothing. At the same time she also dealt in antique jewelry, china, etc.
On Jan, 22, 1900, she was married to Gilson D. Wart, son of Azariah and Eliza A. Caster Wart of Sandy Creek, the ceremony being performed at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Henry (Juliet Widrig) Ainsworth. Mr. Wart's father was a prominent local attorney and civic leader, and his grandfather, John Wart, was the first settler in the town of Boylston in 1810.
Shortly after their marriage they operated a bakery in what is now Burkhardt's Groceteria, continuing the business until 1907. In 1908 they purchased of W.D. Sprague the block and grocery on North Main street Mr. Wart continuing to operate it until it burned in February 1945. The site of the building is between Norton's Liquor store and Smith's law office. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wart were civic minded and actively interested in the local Democratic party. Mr. Wart served as postmaster, justice of the peace and village treasurer.
Mrs. Wart was a member of the First Methodist Church, Sandy Creek, and in her younger years sang in the choir. She had been a member of the national society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She spent the greater part of her life on North Main street where she was always the first to help in time of sickness or emergency. When her health began to fail and she was no longer able to maintain as active an interest in her community, she kept her hands busy knitting mitten for any child she discovered in need of them.
Surviving Mrs. Wart is one son, Arthur H. Wart, and one grandson, John S. Wart. Byron W. Wart, the only other child of their marriage, died in 1947. Mr. Wart's death occurred in 1959
