The Cherokee Advance 10 Mar 1881 p 3
Tribute of Respect By New Hightower Baptist Church 
Cherokee County, Georgia

Death has visited our little flock and taken away one of our dear sisters, 
Margaret M. Smith, wife of our worthy clerk and brother, W. C. Smith, and 
daughter of James M. Stephens, of Cartersville. 

Sister Smith was born November 30th, 1848; was married to W. C. Smith 
September 29th, 1864; joined the Baptist church at New Hightower in August 
1876, and was baptized by Rev. J. Cantrel.  She lived an examplary (sic) 
member up to her death, which occurred August 28th, 1880.  She only lived 
about forty minutes after she was taken.  Her disease was palpitation of the 
heart and congestion of the lungs. 

Sister Smith was beloved by all who knew her.  It was her greatest pleasure 
to render all comfortable and happy around her.  She leaves a kind husband 
and six children, and many relatives to mourn her loss, but they sorrow not 
as those that have no hope.  She had the pleasure of seeing her daughter 
buried with Christ in baptism, and walking in her footsteps.  May her 
prayers be answered in the salvation of all her children, and may they all 
meet her where parting is no more. 

Therefore, we the church at New Hightower, do resolve
1st, That in the death of sister Smith we have lost one of our loving and 
devoted members, but we believe our loss is her eternal gain.
2nd. Resolved, That we tender our heart felt sympathy to the bereaved 
husband and children.
3rd. Resolved, That this preamble and resolution be spread upon our church 
book and a copy sent to the Cherokee Advance for publication.  Done by the 
church in conference.
February 19th, 1881.   R. B. Brooks
W. C. Smith            Moderator.
          Church Clerk
