The Bossier Banner  October 14, 1897
Death of Mr. Michael Smith.

Mr. Michael Smith died at his residence in this place on Friday, Oct. 8, 1897, 
aged 86 years, 9 months and 28 days.

Mr. Smith was a native of Meath county, Ireland.  He settled in Bossier in 
1845, and made this parish his home from that time until his death.  He was a 
citizen highly esteemed-true in all the relations of life-kind and sincere as 
a friend, with a warm and sympathetic heart, he was always ready to help where 
help was needed.

A good man and useful citizen, who has spent the best years and the best 
energies of his life here, has gone from us, and the announcement has brought 
sadness to many hearts in this parish and where he was known.

Deceased leaves a son and two daughters-Mr. Joannes Smith and Misses Mary and 
Rosa Smith-to mourn the death of a devoted father, and the hearts of our 
entire people go out to them in their bereavement.

Mr. Smith's remains were buried in the Catholic cemetery in Shreveport last 
Saturday, a large number of his friends from this parish attending the funeral 
services

Additional Comments:
Michael Smith is interred at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Shreveport. Michael and 
his wife, Ann, were Irish immigrants.  They had four children: Francis, 
Joannes, Mary and Roselle (Rosa) Smith. The Smith's lived in Bellevue, Bossier 
Parish, then Benton.
