Southern Recorder-December 18-1838-pg-3
OBITUARY
Departed this life on the Friday evening, the 27th ult., at his residence in 
Hancock county, AARON SMITH, Esq, in the 61st year of age, after a protracted 
illness that confined him to his bed nearly twelve months, with but little 
intermission-during the greater part of which time his sufferings were without 
a parallel, but it was borne with Christian patience and fortitude, and the 
time evincing a perfect resignation to the will of Heaven. He is gone to that 
borne from whence no traveller returns-his earthly remains were placed upon the 
bier that conveyed him to the silent tomb, on Sabbath ensuing, borne and 
followed by a number of his numerous friends. This porvidential stroke has made 
a chasm in the society of his relations, friends, and acquaintances, the world 
can never fill. Mr. Smith was greatly esteemed by those that knew him, for his 
benevolence, he never turned a deaf ear to the cries of the needy, nor were any 
ever sent empty away that appealed unto him. He was truly the Widows friend, 
the orphans father, a kind husband, a tender and affectionate father, and an 
indulging master- but he is gone to enjoy the realities of heavenly bliss.  R. 
M. S.
