AGED CITIZEN OF WEDOWEE IS DEAD;  Funeral of Mr. Ben H. Smith held Saturday
Wedowee, Jan. 3rd

Mr. Ben H. Smith died at his home here last Thursday night. He had been in 
feeble health for more than a year but had been confined to his room only a 
few days prior to his death. The deceased, fondly known as "Uncle Ben", was 
one of Wedowee's oldest and most beloved citizens. Funeral services were at 
one o'clock Saturday at the Wedowee Baptist church of which the deceased had 
long been a faithful member.  In the absence of the pastor, Judge F.J. Ingram, 
the funeral was conducted by Rev. S.R. Towns and T.N. Crumpton, pastors of the 
two local Methodist churches.  After the funeral rites at the church the 
Masons took charge of the body and concluded the services at the grave in the 
Masonic cemetery where interment took place.  A widow and eight children 
survive him. The children living out of the county who attended the funeral 
are Mr. Larkin Smith of Cullman; Mr. Wyatt Smith of Jay, Florida; Mr. Jim 
Smith of Bowdon, Georgia; Mrs. J.N. Word of Milton, Florida; and Mrs. Jim 
Ayres of Tampa, Florida.
