The Southern Sentinel (Winnfield, LA), Friday, October 11, 1901
DIED: — At his home near Colfax, La., Sept. 25, 1901, WILEY W. SMITH.

He died with Swamp fever, his illness lasting only about 40 hours, when the dark 
clouds of death hovered over him.

Wiley leaves a wife and five children, father and mother, three brothers and one 
sister, besides hosts of friends, to mourn his death. The chain that bound 
family ties so close is now broken. There is a missing link that can not be 
replaced. Oh, how sad it is to know that we must part with one so near and dear, 
although we know his spirit has been borne away be the snow white Angel Band to 
that peaceful home beyond the skies where there is no more pain, temptation and 
sorrow. Weep not dear friends and family, for it is the workings of an Allwise 
Providence, the Giver and Receiver of our spirits.

So we'll say farewell, dear husband, father and friend, till we meet again.

H. S. M.
