OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence in Grand Coteau, Oct. 11th, 1883, John F. Smith, aged 
67 years and 5 months.

Scarce ten months have elapsed since we consigned to their last resting 
place the remains of the loving companion of his old age, ere we are called 
upon to perform the same sad duty to the worthy subject of this notice.

A few days since he was among us enjoying apparent good health, but death 
gives short warning.

After a brief illness of ten days, he died a death characteristic of the 
life he had spent, peaceful and happy, surrounded by his devoted children, 
kind friends, and solaced by all the comforts of religion.

A loving father, a sincere friend, a true christian, an honest and upright 
citizen, he leaves a void difficult to be filled.

Grand Coteau, Oct. 17, 1883
