Funeral Services For Sam Smart Held at Pineville

Sam Smart, 74, a resident of Winnfield for more than 15 years, died at a
Pineville hospital, Wednesday, January 29, after an illness of several months.

Funeral services for the deceased were held at an Alexandria funeral home
Thursday afternoon, January 30, at 4:00 p.m., conducted by Rev. H. H. McBride,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of Winnfield.  Mr. Smart had been a member
of the First Baptist Church for several years.

Mr. Smart was born in Coloroni, Italy, on February 1, 1873, and immigrated to
the United States in 1884, at the age of 11 years.  He arrived at the port of
New Orleans September 1, 1884, and moved to Winnfield in the early 1930s.

The deceased, although not a citizen of the United States, was well known in
Winnfield.  He had contemplated taking out citizenship papers for several
years but didn't because of the war.

Interment was in the Pineville cemetery under direction of an Alexandria
funeral home.

Mr. Smart is survived by his widow and four daughters.
