SMITH OF HARDINSBURG SATURDAY AT AGE OF 82 Hardinsburg, Ky (Breckinridge County) October 11, 1904 (Special) Mrs. Amanda SMITH, relict of the late J. T. SMITH, died at her home here Saturday morning, October 8, 1904, at aged 82 years. When death came several of her children were at the bedside. For about two years, she was bedridden, and suffered much, but, through it all, she was patient and resigned. The funeral was conducted from the Baptist Church, the Reverend Everett ENGLISH, officiating. The interment was in the city cemetery. (Old Ivy Hill Cemetery ?) For 68 years she had been devoted and a constant member of the Baptist Church, and was an active church worker as long as her health permitted. Seven children survive to mourn her loss, and to strive to emulate her noble Christian Life.
