Remains of E. P. Smith Laid To Rest

The remains of Elijah P. Smith, who died at Fort Bliss, Texas Tuesday a week 
ago, arrived in this city last Monday morning.  The remains were shipped from 
Fort Bliss last Thursday, the 14th and were on the road five days.  His father, 
Mr. W. L. Smith, has not received any word from the government authorities as 
to how long the young man was sick, except that his death was caused from 
pneumonia.

The remains were laid to rest last Tuesday morning at Mt. Zion cemetery, six 
miles north of Pelham.  The funeral services were conducted at the Mt. Zion 
Church, Rev. H. N. Burnett performing the last sad rites.

The deceased was a member of the Pine Forest Baptist church and is survived by 
his father and step mother and five brothers and six sisters.  The Messenger 
extends condolence to the bereaved ones in their hour of affliction.
