Mrs. Avery A. Smith
Charlotte A. Morgan was born Aug. 12, 1844 at Rome Center, Lenawee Co., Michigan. Five years later she with her parents moved to Hillsdale Co., Michigan, receiving her education at the Hillsdale high school and college. December 20th 1864 she was united in marriage to Avery A. Smith. They resided in and near Hillsdale until 1897, since which time they have resided in Evart. Three children were born to them, two daughters and one son, two of whom are living. Charles A. of this village and Mrs. Beatty of Chippeva lake. The younger daughter, Mrs. Hill, died at her home in Colon, Michigan in 1897, being survived by her husband and two little girls, Charlotte and Fanny. Mrs. Smith died at her home Friday, December 15th, 11:05 after an illness of 12 weeks. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, being conducted by the pastor, Rev. F. P. Burchell.
This is in brief the story of a life. it simply tells the outstanding points in a life's history. It gives dates but it does not give thoughts; it gives facts but it does not tell the character. It tells nothing of the joys which have animated the years; nothing of the sorrows which have caused the tears to flow in hours of bereavement; nothing of the hopes which have given courage to many a shadowy day, and brightened many a happy one. Life's history is not told in dates, but in the inner light and character. Mrs. Smith lived, and her life was more than a record of her birth and death, for there was the shining of the inner light. It has been said that "the day of death is better than the day of ones birth." This is eminently true of her; not because her birth has not been a blessing in the world, for it brightened the parent's home, blessed the husband's life, brought a benediction to the children, but because the day of death meant for her a larger, better and happier life than it is possible for one to posesse (sp) here, for "eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." That she loved Him and was striving to meet Him was the testimony of her own words, and that she was faithful to Him is witnessed by the life she lived. Although many friends feel the bereavement as a personal loss, and have hearts touched with sympathy for those sorrowing, yet all rejoice in the life well lived and the sure reward promised.

The funeral of the late Mrs. A. A. Smith occurred from the Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, which attested to her popularity as a worthy citizen of our village. Mrs. Smith was an active worker of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church, a member of the Eastern Star, Rathbone Sisters, and other social organizations, who testified to their regard for her in bountiful gifts of beautiful flowers.
