Daniel D. Smothers, one of Riverton's most highly respected and esteemed pioneers passed over the great divide last Saturday, January 25th, at 10 o'clock a.m.
Deceased was taken sick January 3 with an attack of Spanish Influenza which later developed pneumonia, and after a severe illness of three weeks and one day death relieved his suffering.

A few years later he was united in marriage to Miss Ella Hicks of Huntsville, Mo. They then made their home at Armstrong, Mo. To this union four children were born. About twenty years ago the family moved to Houston, Texas where they resided until coming to Riverton valley in 1909. While at Houston his wife and one daughter passed away.
After coming to Riverton in 1909 he and his daughter, no Mrs. J. E. Coffman of this city, took up a homestead and proved up on the same and a year later took up their residence in Riverton where he resided until his demise.
On December 22, 1916 he was again married being united in marriage to Mrs. Rebecca Hatton at Lander, who survives him.
Mr. Smothers was a good Christian, joining church when quite young and has been an active member in supporting the church of his faith at all times.
