has been a resident of Adams county, died at his home on Decatur street this morning at
about two o'clock after ailing for several years from complication of diseases. In
young manhood Mr. Smith took up his abode at Magley. After residing there for nearly a
score years he with his family removed to Kingsland where they resided for several years
removing to Decatur from there about two years ago. Mr. Smith suffered a severe stroke of
paralysis and since that time his health has gradually declined. A second stroke three
years ago hastened the coming of the death angel as did the development of Bright's
disease, which enveloped his system during the closing chapter of his life.

Frank and John Smith and Mesdames Ross Mallonee and Curtis Wolfe. The funeral services
