                     DEATH OF D.A.R. VETERAN
Henry B. Smith Passes Away on trip to Crown Point
  The death of Henry B. Smtih, a former resident of Crown Point and 
probably better known in this community as "Sandy", occurred on 
Sunday afternoon, the end coming as he was making a trip from Gary 
to Crown Point.
  Upon reaching this city Mr. Smith expired in the automobile in 
which he and his Wife were riding, heart failure and results of 
feeble health for some time being the cause.
  The deceased was a civil war veteran, and nearly 85 years of 
age , had expressed a desire to end his last days in Crown Point, 
where he had resided the greater portion of his life, and in order 
to gratify the wish of his declining days, the family were moving 
to Crown Point at the time of his death.
  Mr.  Smith fought during the many engagements of the civil war 
with distinction and was one of the few surviving members of the 
local G.A.R.  post.  For a number of years he has resided with his 
wife and sons at Gary, Ind.
  The funeral services were held on Wednesday morning at the Free 
Methodist church, members of the Fred Schmidt Post, American Legion, 
having charge of the funeral arriangements
  The remains of the aged and respected soldier were laid to rest 
at Maplewood Cemetery.
