Another Veteran of Confederacy Passes

Mr. Charles M. Smith, a well-known citizen of this county, seventy-eight years
of age, died at his home seven miles northwest of Butler, last Wednesday night,
May the 7th.  Mr. Smith had been very feeble for quite awhile, and while his
death was not unexpected, yet the parting was sad.  He had long been a resident
of Taylor County and had a large number of strong personal friends.  He was a
valiant soldier in the Confederate army , and was proud of the “gray” he wore
and the cause which he espoused and gave the best days of his young manhood to
defend.  Mr. Smith and Mr. Harris, two Confederate veterans of this county
passing away during the past week to answer the bugle call in the great beyond,
tells in language unmistakeable how rapidly the line of “gray” is being thinned.

Mr. Smith is survived by his wife and the following children, by his first
marriage, Mr. Ed Smith, of Manchester, Mr. Will Smith, of Woodbury, and Mr. Lem
Smith, of Atlanta, also one daughter, Mrs. John H. Adams, of near Howard. He was
a stepfather also to the following children by his second wife, Messrs. James
Aultman, of Killeen, Texas, John Aultman, of Rupert, George Aultman, of Howard
and Ambrey Aultman of the A.E.F., France.

His remains were interred at Union cemetery, the funeral service was conducted
by Rev. L.A. Harrell.
