DEATH OF MRS. C. SMALLEY IS A GREAT SHOCK
Few Friends Aware of Serious Illness when Death Comes
Announcement of the death last evening of Mrs. Carrie L. Smalley, widow of
Charles F. Smalley and prominent club woman and social leader of the city,
came as a great shock to the community as the critical illness of Mrs.
Smalley was known to but a few of her more intimate friends. Death occurred
shortly before 6 last evening at the home she occupied at 517 Chicago street.
Heart aflection from which she had long suffered was the cause.
Funeral Held Saturday.
Funeral services for Mrs. Smalley will be held Saturday afternoon at St.
James Episcopal church at 4:15. It is expected that Chester F. Smalley, a
son, who is en route from California will arrive in the city late Saturday
in time for the funeral. Mr. Smalley, advised Monday of the serious illness
of his mother left California Tuesday evening and efforts are being made to
get in touch with him en route to inform him of the death.
The Rev. Curtiss of Sheboygan will officiate at the burial services.
Interment will be at Evergreen.
Spent Life Here.
Born at Owosso, Mich., June 23, 1858, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Barnes,
Mrs. Smalley came to Manitowoc with her parents when a babe and this city
is the only home she has ever known. She received her education in the
public schools and took an active part in the school life. June 15, 1880
she was married to Charles Fremont Smalley in this city and was his helpmate
during the time he was building up the business of the Smalley Manufacturing
company and succeeding him as the president of the company at his death
October 21, 1901. She continured as the head of the organization until a year
ago when she retired to permit of a reorganization.
Mrs. Smalley took a keen interest in the industrial political and social life
of the community and was always active. She was a member of the D.A.R., Order
of the Eastern Star, Clio club, Women's Federation, North Side Ladies Aid,
Women's Relief Corps and of the St. James Episcopal church congregation.
Mrs. Smalley was active in the organizations which for many years waged the
campaign for woman suffrage and attended state and national meetings in
interest of that movement and it was a matter of gratification to her when
the equal suffrage amendment was carried. She had given support to all civic
movements looking to welfare betterment and was widely known as a leader,
being a woman of determined character and strong convictions.
Leaves One Son
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Smalley, three of whom died in infancy,
the only survivor being Chester F. Smalley, of Los Angeles, Cal., a grand son
Stanley F. Smalley and a sister Miss Jennie Barnes, who made her home with Mrs.
Smalley, also survive.
The body of Mrs. Smalley is at the William Frazier undertaking home at 520
Buffalo street where it will remain until the funeral Saturday afternoon.
