Walton Tribune, Monroe, Georgia, October 29, 1937

Mrs. Smith Laid to Rest on Wednesday
Following a long period of ill health, the gentle spirit of Mrs. Alex S. Smith 
was wafted to its maker from North Broad Street home in Monroe. Mrs. Smith 
being in falling health for two years and the past year and half she had been 
confined to her bed. Sunday afternoon she took a turn for worse and physicians 
and loved ones realized the end was approaching. Mrs. Smith was the daughter 
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isac Bentley, of Walton County. She and Mr. Smith 
were married 54 years ago, and the past 30 years of that period were spent in 
Monroe. For about 50 years she had been a member of the Universalist Church, 
having her membership at Windsor. She was a faithful and devoted member of her 
faith, and one of the gentleness, most unselfish of a woman who was widely 
beloved for her many noble traits of character. Mrs. Smith is survived by her 
husband and three children as follow, Mrs. J. A. Mayfield, of Milledgeville, 
Mrs. E. M. Tribble and Mrs. Marion Williams of Monroe. She is also survived by 
five brothers and three sisters as follows; Charlie Bentley of Jacksonville, 
Ala., Homer Bentley of Winder, V. E., V. M. and Robert Bentley of Bold 
Springs; Mrs. D. A. L. Still of Loganville, Mrs. Estelle Watson of Winder. In 
addition of these there are six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. 
Funeral rites occurred from the First Baptist Church of Monroe Wednesday 
afternoon at three o’clock conducted by Rev. Rasnake of Atlanta, assisted by 
Pastor James A. Clark and interment followed in the City Cemetery, The E. L. 
Almond Co., in charge. In the death of this exemplary devoted wife and mother 
and useful cousin, Monroe and Walton County sustain a heavy loss and the 
Walton Tribune assures the sorrowing loved ones of its tenderest sympathies.
