Abstract Pastor and educator Reverend Harry Charles Tartt was born on October 16, 1908, in Biloxi, Mississippi. Tartt enrolled in New Orleans University, graduating summa cum laude in 1933. Tartt began teaching high school in Gulfport, Mississippi, in 1934, and left Gulfport to pursue an M.A. degree in English literature at the University of Chicago. Instead, Tartt became a staff writer for Bronzeville's Chicago Bee newspaper. Drafted into World War II in 1942, Tartt went on to earn five battle stars, attaining the rank of Major. He received his M.A. degree in English, pursued theological studies and served as pastor for the United Methodist Church. His inspirational essays have appeared in many publications. Tartt later returned to teach in the Gulfport public school system. He received many awards for community service. Tartt passed away on May 12, 2008 at the age of 99.
