Lydia Smith
We are again called upon to chronicle another death which makes the fifth in our community during the past winter. On Tuesday of last week at the house of her daughter, Mrs. J.L. Taylor, occurred the death of Mrs. Lydia Smith, widow of the late Curtis Smith near Barnesville. Her death resulted from that dreaded disease, pneumonia from which she suffered intensely for about seven weeks, but which she bore with much patience. We had not the privilege of being intimately acquainted with her, she having been here since last fall, but we have every reason to believe she possessed in common with her late husband, the highest trait of a noble christian character, and was loved by all who knew her as evidence by the magnificent display of flowers that covered her casket. She leaves five children, Mrs. J.L. Taylor who tenderly cared for her during her last sickness, Mrs. Lou Aiken of Carroll City, Iowa, Clarence of Cambridge, Edward of Alliance, and John of Barnesville, to mourn the losses of a kind and affectionate and loving mother. Funeral services were held Friday, conducted by Rev. D.E. Cole and Rev. John Miller, Ph.D. Interment in Greenmount Cemetery, Barnesville.
Mr. & Mrs. Lafe Taylor wish to extend their thanks to their neighbors and especially Mrs. Frank Lynn, Mrs. Rev. J. B. Miller and Mrs. Henry C. Brady for their kindness and sympathy during the sickness of their loving mother, Mrs. Smith.
From the Barnesville Enterprise, March 14, 1907
