MRS. ODELL S. SMITH DIES AT HOME HERE
Ida Norment Smith, wife of Odell S. Smith and mother of Frank S. Smith and Mrs. Ida Smith Walters, died yesterday at her residence, 1631 16th street northwest.
Mrs. Smith was a descendant of one of the oldest Washington families. She was the daughter of the late Samuel Norment and Mary Ellen Ward. She was born in this city April 21, 1864. Losing her mother early in life she was raised by an elder sister, Mrs. Ulie N. Hurley. She was educated in private schools of Frederick, Cumberland and Washington, and was graduated from Centenary Collegiate Institute, Hackettstown, N. J.
On October 5, 1887, she was married to Odell S. Smith at the Metropolitan M. E. Church by the late Bishop John P. Newman and her uncle, Rev. Dr. James T. Ward, then president of Western Maryland College. After a little more than two years spent in Connecticut and New York, she, with her husband, returned to Washington, which has been her home ever since.
For a number of years she gave much of her time to her friends, to the church and to charitable work. Her greatest work, however, was done in her family. Besides the relatives mentioned above, she is survived by her brothers, Clarence F. Norment and Harry Norment; her grandson, Frank S. Walters, and her stepmother, Mrs. Mamie E. Norment.
The funeral will take place from the residence, 1631 16th street northwest, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The active pallbearers will be the friends of the son, Frank S. Smith, and the honorary pallbearers will be Charles G. Stott, William Williams, George H. Judd, William Clarke, George L. Starkey and Charles W. Linkins.
