The Butler Hearld
Former Cournty Citizen Dies at Fort Valley

Mr. John H. Smith, age 47, formerly of Taylor county died at Ft. Valley, 
January 14, after and illness of several days from paralysis. Funeral services 
were held at Ft. Valley and his remains were brought here to Howard for 
internment at Horeb Baptist Church.
Mr. Smith had lived in this county practically all of his life and by his 
honesty and fair dealings with his fellow-man, won for himself some very close 
friends. In fact, we have never heard him spoken of except in the very best of 
terms. He had met adversities financially, and irreparable loss in the death 
of his wife, but amidst it all, he never faltered, neither did his faith in 
the mercy of God ever waiver. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist 
Church, and as such was a true and loyal member.
Mr. Smith moved from Taylor county to Fort Valley about the middle of December 
last, wo, by his deportment over there, soon won the confidence of the 
beautiful city's citizenry, who recognizing the needs of Mr. Smith and his 
family during the time of his illness, readily and liberally responded, and 
following his death fully provided for all funeral and burial expenses.
Mr. Smith is survived by six daughters and one son, and all the good people of 
Fort Valley say that these orphan children will be provided for. Evidently 
Christ still lives and the heart of Christianity is still pulsating with 
warnth and love.
