JAMES CALVIN SMITH OBITUARY
Found in the Dade County Library in Greenfield, Missouri on microfilm from the Greenfield Vedette:
James Calvin Smith was born January 30, 1858, and died at his home north of Everton on January 29, 1924, at the age of 65 years, 11 months, and 29 days.
He was married to Martha Rowena Grant on May 30, 1880. To this union ten children were born, seven of whom preceded him in death. Those left to mourn his loss are Walter of Iola, Kansas, Mrs. Ollie Sims of Payson, Oklahoma, and Norma of the home address, all of whom were present during his last illness and death. He was one of God's noble men. His adorning was not that outward adorning of wearing gold or putting on apparel, but it was the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price. He was a devoted companion and father, a kind neighbor, and a true and humble disciple of Lord Jesus.
He was ill only 14 days, but suffered intensely during that period, but never complained.
He leaves beside his wife and children, two brothers, one sister, seven grandchildren, two great grandsons and many relatives and friends.
His funeral was preached by Rev. Russell at Liberty church on Wednesday, January 30th, at 11 a.m. and his remains were laid to rest in Liberty cemetery.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth. Yea, sayeth the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
