The Centerville Echo, Linn County, Thursday, April 4, 1907
Tuesday evening shortly after the shades of night settled over the little
villiage of Centerville and all was hushed in silence, the death angel in his
silent mystic manner, visited the home of Henry SMITH and took away the Spirit
of Grandma. She closed her eyes, ceased to breathe and life was over.
She had been sick for a long time but apparently was some better on Tuesday and
seemed to be quite cheerful, and when the sad news was communicated to the
different homes it caused suspense and many a tear drop fall; as she was such a
devoted Christian, and so kind and helpful to all when she was able to do any
work at all. Her cheering words and smiling face will linger long in the memory
of friends and loved ones.
She has said on many occasions that she was ready to cross the river of death
when summoned and most certainly hers was a peaceful death.
She was born at Columbus, Ohio, July 11th, 1832. Died April 2, 1907, making her
74 years old.
She was the mother of 5 children, all having preceded her excepting one.
She leaves an aged husband, one son, several grand children, beside many friends
to mourn her death. She has left the church militant to join the church trumphant.

A Card of Thanks.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our many friends for their kind and words to
mother and us during her illness and death.
Henry Smith, Geo. W. Smith.
