D. Smith, which occurred at her home near here Saturday evening. Mrs. Smith had many friends in this community to mourn her departure. To the bereaved, and more especially the husband, Mr. J. D. Smith, who only a few days since followed to the grave the remains of his daughter, Mrs. P. B. Pearson, we extend our sincerest sympathy. From another place in the March 18, 1908 issue of The LaFayette Sun Another Sad Death In last week’s issue of this paper was an account of the sad death of Mrs. Luke Pearson, and now we come to report the death of her mother, Mrs. Anna Smith, the wife of Mr. John Smith, of near the State Line of Georgia and Alabama. Sister Smith is the oldest daughter of Brother and Sister G. F. Whatley. She died Saturday night at her home. Her death was caused from pneumonia.

She leaves her father and mother, three sisters and three brothers, a dear husband, one daughter, one granddaughter, the daughter of Mrs. Luke Pearson, together with many relatives and friends in a state of deep mourning.
