Pulaski County Democrat, 16 Jul 1914
BENEDICT SMITH - One of the old-time residents of Tippecanoe township passed 
away Wednesday afternoon of last week in the death of Benedict Smith, which 
occurred at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Joseph Crist and wife.  
The old gentleman had been a severe sufferer from rheumatism for about five 
years and lost rapidly during the last few weeks. His age was 78 years 5 
months and 7 days.  He was born in Germany, coming to this country when a lad 
of about twelve years.  For forty-six years he had been a resident of 
Tippecanoe township, and was numbered among its most substantial citizens.  
His wife died about eleven years ago, but he is survived by four sons and one 
daughter - Henry of Iowa, William of Oregon, Michael of Ohio, Otto of Monterey 
and Mrs. Mary Crist with whom he lived.  All of the children except the son in 
Oregon were here for the funeral, which was held Friday afternoon at St. Ann's 
church at Monterey, with services by Rev. B. Loongen.  Interment was given in 
the Catholic cemetery at Monterey.
