Mrs. R.B. Smith Dead

Mrs. R.B. Smith died at her home near Vega yesterday after an illness of
about a week. She will be buried today at Mt. Zion cemetery.

Mrs. Smith was a most estimable lady and leaves a large number of
friends to mourn her death. She was a consistent member of the Baptist
Church, living up to the high standard of Christianity taught by this
church. She was a sister of Mr. C.H. Harper of this place. Mrs. Smith
was 33 years of age and leaves a husband and three children - the oldest
child being nine years old and the youngest only four months. The
Journal sympathizes with the family and with the entire community in the
death of this excellent woman.
