DEATH OF MRS. H.D. SMITH
Passed Away at 2 o'clock This Morning
Funeral Will Be Held Tomorrow
Mrs. Catharine Ann Smith died this morning after an illness of less than two weeks with paralysis. She was born in Woodstock, Ulster county, New York, May 3, 1831, and with her parents emigrated to Bremer county, Iowa in the fall of 1855, where she first met Henry D. Smith.
Afterwards she and her parents moved to Howard county Iowa, where she and Mr. Smith were married in November 1850.
They returned to Bremer County where they resided till they moved in 1866 to Alba, Jasper County, Missouri. After living there one year and a half they moved to their farm three miles northwest of Carthage, which has been their home up to the present time, making a residence of about 40 years near Carthage.
Mrs. Smith was the mother of two children, a daughter, who died when eighteen months old, and a son Leslie E. who survives her.
She was not a member of any church but belonged to that unorganized body the church of the world whose creed is-- "God is love and this is my commandment that ye love one another as I have loved you." Faithfully and nobly she did her part.
The sorrow of her family is shared by the entire community in which she lived. Her husband,her son Leslie and his wife and her granddaughter Pearl have the sympathy of all in the bereavement.
