J. W. Clinton, of New Harmony. Before her marriage she was Fathie Smith, and she is survived by her husband; four sons, Messrs. Albert S. and John of Bluffton, Luther of Spring Garden, and Wm. Slaughter of Cedartown; and three daughters, Mrs. Julia Gossett of Spring Garden, Ala., Mrs. Etta Fuller of Gadsden, and Miss Lucy Slaughter; three sisters, Mrs. M. T. Tanner of Mt. Home, Mesdames Sallie Alsop and Susie Mullinax of Piedmont; four brothers, Messrs. Thos. Smith of Forney, Jas. Smith of Etna, Geo. and John Smith of Cedartown. She was a member of the Baptist church at Etna for thirty years. A Precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, Place is vacant in our home. Which never can be filled. God, in His wisdom, has recalled the boon His love has given. And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven. (Cedartown Standard, May 23, 1929) NOTE: Buried at Salem Baptist Church in Cherokee County, AL.
