[Special to The Indianapolis News]
WASHINGTON, January 23—Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon for Horace P. DeHart, formerly of LaFayette, Ind., who was struck and killed by an automobile Saturday night. The body will be cremated. DeHart occupied places of responsbility in the United States Interior department for more than thirty years. In the last four years he had been private secretary to John H. Edwards, assistant secretary of the department, another Indiana man. He had served in a similar capacity for an assistant secretary of the department almost steadily for twenty years.
DeHart was one of the founders of the Indiana Society in Washington and always was active in affairs of the Indiana society here. In the course of his public service he wrote many boys' books and contributed to leading magazines. He was the son of Richard DeHart, Lafayette, who attained a high commanding rank in the civil war.
Before coming to Washington, Mr. DeHart was the city editor of the Evening Call at Lafayette, which merged with the Evening Courier in 1905. Booth Tarkington, George Barr McCutcheon and John Tinney McCutcheon worked on the Call in their college days at Purdue University.
Mr. DeHart is survived by the widow, Mrs. Anna DeHart; an adopted daughter, Mrs. Mildred Murphy, of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Jessica Cheek, Los Angeles.
