The People's Banner July 27th 1876
"Died – On the 9th inst., at her residence, some six miles west of Troy, Pike 
County, Alabama, Tempy, or Temperance Smart, aged about 76 years, relict of the 
late Cornelious Smart, who died some time last year, a notice of whose death 
appeared in this paper

This was the last surviving sister to the mother of the writer, and leaving 
only one of the old stock, a brother, Wm. C. Rushing, who reside in the same 
locality.

Thus they fade away, as mist before the above until he shall make up his 
jewels. The old, the young, the middle-aged. None are free from the penalty of 
the law. All that is created must come to an end, all that are born must die. 
Happy are they who, like her of whom we write, shall be so fully ready for the 
summons when their Lord shall call." (E. W. B. Bayzer was the Editor and 
proprietor of The People’s Banner, Wetumpka, Elmore Co., AL) (1)

Note added by Candace Green Jan 2004
The death date for Temperance Rushing Smart as recorded on the stone in the 
cemetery give the year as 1879. The obituary is probably the accurate date
but there is a discrepancy.
