south of town, Tuesday morning, Dec. 29, 1908, at five o'clock and her remains 
were interred in the Lineville cemetery Tuesday afternoon, Rev Vann, assisted by 
Rev A Speer and Dr Evans, conducting the funeral services. The deceased was born 
in Upson County, Oct. 5, 1834, her maiden name being Martha Ballard.
She united with the church South in early life and has ever lived the life of a 
consistent Christian. She was married to William Smith Dec. 7, 1857. She removed 
with her husband to this community in 1874 where they have since resided. The 
deceased was the mother of ten children, eight of whom, with her husband, fifty-
two grandchildren and thirty great-grandchildren survive her.
She had been sick of pneumonia for about a week prior to her death The large
