FORMER RESIDENT PASSED AWAY AT WASHINGTON HOME

Mrs. Elizabeth Tench Smith, ninety-two years of age, and widow of the late 
Col. Andrew J. Smith, who, years ago, resided in Brunswick, passed away in 
Washington on Sunday and her body will arrive in the city tonight for 
interment in Oak Grove cemetery tomorrow morning.

E.B. Smith, son of the deceased, arrived in the city today to make 
arrangements for the funeral tomorrow.  Mr. Smith is a prominent Washington 
newspaper man, being on the staff of the Washington Post and is Washington 
correspondent for several large newspapers.  He says it has been thirty years 
since his last visit to Brunswick and he hardly knew the city.

With her husband and family Mrs. Smith resided here for many years.  Her 
husband at that time one of the best known lawyers in south Georgia, died in 
Brunswick during the yellow fever epidemic of 1876 and was buried in the same 
cemetery lot as his partner, the late John L. Harris, with whom he practiced 
law for years.

Mrs. Smith is survived by her son and three [sic] daughters, Mrs. John W. 
Parker, of Houston, Texas, Miss Marion Smith, of Washington, who will arrive 
tonight to attend the funeral, and Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Claybrook, of Austin, 
Texas.

Funeral services were held in Washington, and there will be only short 
interment services tomorrow morning to be conducted by Royal K. Tucker, of St. 
Mark’s Episcopal church.
